NRI Quota Seats in GBCM (Gautam Buddha Chikitsa Mahavidyalaya, Dehradun) and SGRR (Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical & Health Sciences, Dehradun), focusing on MBBS Admission Session 2025. It covers the quota concept, eligibility & cutoff, fee structure, document list, and the admission process.

Introduction: NRI Quota in Uttarakhand Private Medical Colleges

In Uttarakhand, private medical colleges typically reserve a supernumerary NRI/OCI quota (i.e. over and above the standard seat matrix) for candidates with NRI status (or sponsored by NRIs).

Two prominent private colleges in Dehradun—GBCM and SGRR—offer NRI quota seats under their MBBS programs.

While many details are publicly known, some are based on latest available reports and may be subject to change. Always cross-check with the colleges or state counselling authority.

GBCM & SGRR – Overview, Seat Allocation & NRI Quota

GBCM (Gautam Buddha Chikitsa Mahavidyalaya, Dehradun)

Total MBBS seats: ~ 150 (private college)

GBCM follows Uttarakhand’s quota scheme: a portion for Uttarakhand domicile (state quota/private quota), and remaining for all-India/management/NRI candidates.

NRI Quota: The college does have NRI quota seats; these are over and above the regular management / general quota.

SGRR (Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical & Health Sciences, Dehradun)

SGRR recently received NMC approval to increase its MBBS seats from 150 to 200 seats. 

It too reserves some seats for NRI / OCI / foreign nationals (roughly ~15% of seats under NRI/OCI/foreign quota, as is a common norm) for MBBS admission.

Thus, both colleges provide a pathway via NRI quota for eligible candidates, alongside the standard management and state quota systems.

Eligibility & Cutoff Criteria for NRI Quota (MBBS 2025)

Eligibility

To apply under the NRI quota, candidates typically must satisfy:

NEET-UG 2025 qualification — the candidate must appear in the NEET exam and meet the minimum percentile as specified by NMC/State.

Academic eligibility — 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English.

Minimum aggregate in PCB + English: ~50% for General category, ~40% for SC/ST/OBC (some relaxation where applicable)

Age criteria — candidate should complete 17 years by 31 December of the admission year (or as per NEET/NTA rules).

NRI / Sponsorship requirement — candidate must provide proof of NRI/OCI status or sponsorship by an NRI, including valid documentation (passport, visa, work permit, etc.).

Relationship affidavit — often relationship proof between candidate and sponsoring NRI (father, mother, blood relative) is mandatory.

In SGRR’s published eligibility, it mentions the candidate must be NRI/OCI and must qualify NEET-UG, with valid sponsorship and relationship proof.

Cutoff / Merit Criteria

Since NRI quota is a merit-based route, the cutoff is typically set relative to NEET-UG rank/score. However, it's often more flexible (lower) than that for All India or state quota, because of fewer applicants in that category.

GBCM Cutoff Trends

In 2024, GBCM’s NRI quota had opening/closing ranks in later rounds like ≈ 1,361,779 (non‑domicile), and around 1,063,842 (domicile) in some rounds.

For regular management / general quota, earlier rounds closed at ranks around 46,1549 etc.

SGRR Cutoff Trends

Under its general / management quota, SGRR’s cutoffs (for UR) in prior years have been in several hundred-thousand rank ranges (NEET ranks ~2,80,000–4,24,000 region).

For the NRI category in SGRR, specific prior-year NRI quota cutoff data is limited in public sources.

Because the number of NRI applicants is smaller, and seats are supernumerary, the required NEET score/rank is often lower compared to regular quotas, especially in lower rounds.

Fee Structure (Tuition + Miscellaneous) under NRI Quota & Other Quotas

Below is a comparative summary of fee structures for GBCM and SGRR (based on latest available data). These are indicative only and subject to change.

GBCM (Gautam Buddha Chikitsa Mahavidyalaya)

Example: First-year combined fee (tuition + hostel + mess + admission etc) can cross ₹ 26.82 lakh in total for non‑domicile category.

The college also publishes that “total first year fee (for non‑domicile / All India quota) is ~ ₹ 26,57,500” in some documents.

SGRR (Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute)

So, for SGRR, the NRI quota fee is quoted as $1,60,000 for the whole course (not per annum).

Under general / AIQ quota, annual fee is ₹ 21,00,000; under state quota ₹ 15,75,000.

Admission Process – MBBS 2025 (for NRI Quota in GBCM & SGRR)

Here is the stepwise flow of how NRI quota admissions typically proceed in these Uttarakhand private colleges:

Qualify NEET-UG 2025

Appear and pass NEET exam, satisfy the minimum percentiles as per NMC/State.

Register for Uttarakhand State Counselling / Private MBBS Admission

Uttarakhand’s medical education / counselling authority (e.g. HNBUMU or designated body) opens registration window for private college admissions including NRI quota.

Fill the application and pay the registration fee.

Choice Filling / Preference Entry

Candidates (including NRI category) fill choices of colleges (GBCM, SGRR, other private colleges), specifying the NRI quota.

Seat Allotment / Merit List Publication

Based on NEET rank, category, and seat availability, an allotment is made.

NRI seats are often allotted from a supernumerary list (i.e. not reducing regular quota seats).

Provisional Allotment & Document Verification

The candidate receives a provisional allotment.

Reporting to the designated centre / college for document verification (originals + photocopies).

Check the NRI documents as part of verification (sponsorship, passport, relationship affidavit, etc.)

Fee Payment / Admission Confirmation

On acceptance, pay the required fees (tuition + hostel + other charges) per NRI quota rules.

Sign admission / bond forms as required.

Reporting to the College

Report to the allotted college (GBCM or SGRR) within stipulated timeline with all documents & fee receipt.

Upgradation / Mop-Up / Stray Vacancy Rounds

If the candidate desires, they can participate in further rounds for upgradation.

If any NRI quota seats remain unfilled, colleges may permit spot or stray vacancy admissions.

Commencement of Academic Classes & Orientation

Once enrolled, attend orientation, begin classes as per academic calendar.

Special Notes & Tips:

The NRI quota is often supernumerary, so filling of regular quotas is independent of it.

If an NRI quota seat remains vacant after rounds, sometimes the college may convert them to management quota or fill via spot admissions (subject to regulations).

Always check the official Uttarakhand private MBBS admission notifications and the colleges’ websites for exact dates, rules, and changes.

Pay attention to deadlines for choice filling, verification, reporting, and fee payment — delays can lead to seat cancellation.

Summary & Key Takeaways

GBCM and SGRR both reserve NRI quota seats for MBBS, offering a path for eligible NRI / OCI candidates.

The fee for NRI quota is substantially higher: GBCM’s NRI fee is ~$36,500 annually; SGRR’s quoted NRI fee is ~$160,000 for the full course.

Cutoff for NRI quota is merit-based but usually more flexible due to fewer applicants; GBCM’s past NRI cutoffs trended in the higher NEET ranks.

The admission process involves NEET qualification → registration for state/private counselling → choice filling → allotment → document verification → fee payment → reporting.

Documentation is critical, especially NRI sponsor proofs, relationship affidavits, passports, etc.
