Hello Mr. Siva,
Yes, your daughter can usually apply for MBBS in Tamil Nadu in the NRI category but not in the Open (General) category. Because she was born in USA and has an OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card, she is considered a foreign national per Indian regulations. According to the Medical Council of India (now NMC) and Tamil Nadu medical admission policies, OCI cardholders are categorized as foreign nationals for the purpose of admission and generally do not qualify for seats in the General/Open category but may apply under the NRI / NRI-sponsored seat.
You can also check the latest official notified Tamil Nadu Directorate of Medical Education (DME) and eligibility rules in the latest NEET UG brochure.
Dear student, With 403 marks in NEET 2025 , your chances of getting a free (government) MBBS seat depend mainly on your category and home state .
If you're from the General or EWS category , it's very unlikely—government college cutoffs usually stay above 550+ .
If you're OBC , it's still a bit low—most cutoffs are in the 530–590 range.
For SC/ST candidates , there’s a slim chance in some states, especially for ST category , where cutoffs can go down to around 400–480 .
You can still get a seat in private colleges , though it won’t be a free one. Some private institutes may offer scholarships or EWS fee waivers , but those are limited.
Your best bet is to apply through state counselling and explore reserved quota options if applicable.
Let me know your category and state , and I can help you more specifically.
