Hello Vishal,

NRI Sponsored Seats in BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) are a special category of seats offered by dental colleges to students who are sponsored by a Non-Resident Indian (NRI). These seats are available in both private and some deemed universities . Here's how they work:

1. Eligibility :

   • The candidate must have a valid NEET score .
     
     
   • The sponsor (NRI relative) must provide a sponsorship letter and proof of NRI status (such as a passport, visa, or resident permit).
     
     
   • The candidate may be required to show a relationship with the NRI sponsor (e.g., parent, uncle, aunt).
     
     

2. Fees :

   Recommended
   • Fees for NRI-sponsored seats are much higher than regular seats, often ranging between USD 20,000 to 50,000 per year , depending on the college.
     
     
   • This fee structure is typically in US Dollars (or equivalent in Indian Rupees), and it covers tuition and other college expenses.
     
     

3. Seat Allotment :

   • NRI-sponsored seats are allocated through NEET counseling , either through state quota or university-level counseling for deemed universities.
     
     
   • These seats usually have lower cut-offs compared to general merit seats, making it easier for students to secure admission if they qualify.
     
     

4. Documents Required :

   • NEET scorecard
   • NRI sponsorship letter
   • NRI sponsor’s ID proof, passport, and visa
   • Proof of relationship with the sponsor
