Hello sir/madam, My daughter is appearing for her NEET-PG exam this year. We reside in UAE and wanted to know that if she applies under NRI quota, is it possible to shift to General category later on if needed? Also is vice-vera possible?
R
ruchi ranjan
Mar 9, 2024 22:31

Once a candidate applies under the NRI quota, it is generally not possible to switch to the general category during the admission process.
If your daughter applies for the NRI quota, she will be considered as an NRI candidate throughout the admission process.The fee charged for NRI seats is usually higher than that for other categories. If your daughter initially applies under the general category and later wishes to switch to the NRI quota, it may not be straightforward. It is advisable to carefully choose the category during the application process to avoid complications later.

For NEET-PG 2024 exam, if I apply under NRI category can I opt for General seat if I have a good rank OR do I have to stick to NRI seat itself? If I apply under General category, can I opt for NRI seat at a later stage? Thank you.

Mar 9, 2024 22:39

For the NEET-PG 2024 exam, let's highlight the possibilities regarding the NRI quota and changing categories:
Applying Under NRI Category:

  • During the admissions process, you will be treated as an NRI candidate if you apply under the NRI quota.
  • During the admissions process, you will be treated as an NRI candidate if you apply under the NRI quota.

  • NRI seat fees are typically more than those for other categories.
  • Once you apply under the NRI quota, it is generally not possible to switch to the general category during the admission process.

Applying Under General Category:

  • If you apply under the general category, you will be considered as a general candidate during counseling.
  • However, if you initially apply under the general category and later wish to switch to the NRI quota, it may not be straightforward.
  • It is advisable to carefully choose the category during the application process to avoid complications later.

No. NEET PG is specifically for medical postgraduate courses (such as MD/MS), while MPT is a specialized postgraduate course in physiotherapy. If you’re interested in pursuing MPT, focus on meeting the eligibility criteria for that program.
