NTA NEET UG 2023: The National Testing Agency (NTA) today released a corrigendum regarding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2023 for the candidates who are registering through the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) category. Such candidates can find the notification at the official NEET website — neet.nta.nic.in.
According to the revised notification, an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) will be eligible for admission to the “Undergraduate Medical/ Dental/ Ayurveda/ Unani/ Siddha/ Homeopathy courses in India subject to the rules/ regulations/ notifications issued from time-to-time by the respective regulatory bodies/ counselling authorities/admission authorities in conformity with the policy decision of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and/or Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).”
The earlier notification had stated that “The OCI Cardholder (including a PIO card holder) is a foreign national holding passport of a foreign country and is not a citizen of India”. The old notification had stated that OCI cardholder shall not be eligible for admission against any seat reserved exclusively for Indian citizens. Due to this, OCI candidates were to be eligible for NRI seats only and will not be eligible for “Indian National Seats including paid seats of deemed universities.”
As of now, the NEET UG registration process will conclude on April 6.
