Hello,


NEET 2019 Eligibility Criteria for NRI/Foreign students:

In order to be eligible for NEET 2019, it is mandatory for candidates to pass Class 12 or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English. The candidates who have completed their education from outside the country must fulfil the NEET eligibility criteria 2019. The last examination passed by these candidates must be equivalent to Class 12 qualification from other countries. Candidates should have Physics, Chemistry, and Biology including practical test in each of these subjects and English in the qualifying examination.

 Dear Kannan, if you are a NRI, you should select NRI as your option and not as Indian as your nationality. Selecting an option is easy but defining that option and explaning how you fall under that mentioned category is important. Cos its just not about having advantage but also you shouldn't be held for any wrongdoing be it innocence or ignorance. I would recommend you going through https://neet2018.net/eligibility-criteria/ for a better understanding of the quota for every category.Once you submit your application whether you select a NRI quota or Indian category, you in a way agree that you self declare that the information is true. This is verified at the time of counselling and if found to be false at any time, the admission of that candidate shall be cancelled immediately and criminal proceedings may be intiated. This is not an attempt to scare you by any means but advising the right way of doing it.
