The MBBS NRI quota fees in Kerala typically range between USD 100,000 and USD 150,000 for the entire course, with fees generally divided into annual installments over 4.5 years of academic study, excluding the compulsory 1-year internship. Tuition fees under the NRI quota vary from USD 20,000 to USD 30,000 per year, depending on the college, with top-tier institutions often charging higher amounts. In addition to tuition fees, NRI students are required to pay various other charges, including hostel fees, which can range from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹2.5 lakh per year depending on room type (AC or non-AC). Admission and security deposits, often refundable upon course completion, can range from ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh, while university and examination fees add another ₹30,000 to ₹50,000 annually. NRI quota seats in Kerala's private and self-financing medical colleges are limited, with only around 15% of the total seats allocated for NRI students. To secure a seat, candidates must provide valid NRI status documentation, an affidavit from their sponsor who is a close relative residing abroad, passport copies, and evidence of having qualified in the NEET examination.
