Round 1
At rank 900,000, here is what was accessible in Round 1.
3 options across 2 counselling systems.
Each has a different cost, a different rank band, and a different margin.
After any allotment: 5–6 days to transfer your deposit.
"In 2025, 3 NRI seats at Santosh Medical College filled between ranks 834,917 and 1,119,695 via MCC Deemed NRI quota. At rank 900,000, ~219,695 ranks of buffer — workable range. Fee: $30,650/yr USD. Eligibility: candidate or parent must be NRI/OCI/PIO — MCC verifies documents at online reporting. NRI quota runs separately from the Open merit pool — competing here doesn't overlap with general deemed allotments."
Siddaganga Medical College and Research Institute, Tumakuru
"KEA NRI seats at Siddaganga Medical Col, Tumakuru in 2025 filled between ranks 521,473 and 1,264,973 — 7 NRI seats total. At rank 900,000, ~364,973 ranks of buffer — wide window at this rank band. Annual fee: ₹28.6L (INR) — approx. ₹114.5L over 4 years. Eligibility: NRI/OCI/PIO parent or first-degree relative as sponsor. Fee paid in INR to KEA — unlike MCC Deemed NRI which bills in USD. Karnataka KEA runs independently of MCC — you can hold an MCC seat and compete here simultaneously."
Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad
"In 2025, 4 NRI seats at Malla Reddy Institute, Hyderabad filled between ranks 682,277 and 964,234 via MCC Deemed NRI quota. At rank 900,000, ~64,234 ranks of buffer — narrow within the NRI band. Fee: $42,000/yr USD. Eligibility: candidate or parent must be NRI/OCI/PIO — MCC verifies documents at online reporting. NRI quota runs separately from the Open merit pool — competing here doesn't overlap with general deemed allotments."

Round 2 — engage with Round 1 first

Round 2
What opens if you wait past Round 1.
Round 2 is where upgrades happen — and where the deposit becomes real.
Seats from candidates who didn't join Round 1 reopen here.
From Round 2, not joining means your deposit is forfeited.
"In 2025, thousands of candidates at rank 900,000 didn't join their Round 1 allotment.
Some found better options in Round 2. Some were running parallel tracks in state counselling.
The key question isn't whether to wait — it's whether you've registered for every system that's open to you."
Round 3 — engage with Round 2 to continue

Round 3 — the final picture
Round 3 is a one-way door.
After joining Round 3 you cannot resign or upgrade. MCC shares data with states — any state seat you hold is cancelled automatically. The deposit is fully at risk. Decide only when this is the seat you want.
"Round 3 seats are real — but they come from candidates who forfeited their deposit and walked away, and from upgrades within the system. The students who ended up in Round 3 at rank 900,000 either found their preferred option only opened then, or were committed to waiting it out. It's not a consolation window. It's an irreversible commitment."
