Question by Ram on Sep 18, 2024Hindi

Hi, My son is NRI completion education in US from currently in 10th and plan to complete 12th and come back to India for MBBS in two years. How should he start preparing for NEET? Will he come under NRI quota? Also college in US gets over in June, Not sure he can write entrance in same year or he needs to wait till next year due to Indian NEET and college timelines? Is there a different free structure for NRI's?

Ans: Ram Sir, please note (1) As your son is studying in US now, it is advisable to start preparing for NEET Online. (2) There are a number of Online NEET Preparation Coaching by some reputed Coaching Centers like AhaGuru etc. (3) If possible, please join him this year itself for the foundation (4) Choose the most suitable Online NEET Preparation Program (5) Around 15% seats are reserved for NRI Students (5) Please download the NEET-UG Information Bulletin of 2024 & go through every page to get a detailed information about everything (6) Please make sure in advance that you will have all relevant documents before & after your son appears for NEET till he gets confirmed admission into any one of the Medical Colleges (7) As competition is there even for NRI Quota Seats through NEET, please have Plan B & Plan C, instead of relying only on admission through NEET such as opting for other Courses and getting Management Quota Seat (if affordable) (8) Securing NRI admission in India requires careful planning ahead, whether it's preparing documentation or choosing a college within a specific budget. (9) As far as fees is concerned, it is higher for NRI Students, compared to Students from India & also it depends upon the Medical Colleges, be it Private or Govt. (10) Start researching further from now itself to have a 100% clear idea by the time your son reaches 12th Standard. All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future, Ram Sir.
