Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has published the Provisional NRI Category List for admission to MBBS and BDS courses for the 2026 academic year. The list has been released for candidates who applied for admission to the medical and dental courses and claimed eligibility under the NRI category.
The provisional NRI list is available on the official CEE Kerala website. Candidates are advised to check the list carefully and verify their application number and NEET rank details.
Candidates Can Report Defects or Objections
Candidates who find any discrepancy or defect concerning their NRI category status are advised to carefully follow the instructions issued by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations.
The CEE Kerala notification asks candidates to communicate relevant complaints/clarifications regarding the provisional NRI category list to the CEE office through the prescribed email channel within the notified deadline.
Candidates should ensure that any representation contains sufficient details to identify their application and clearly explains the issue requiring correction.
NRI Category List to Be Used for MBBS/BDS Counselling
The NRI category is part of the category-wise processing undertaken by CEE Kerala for admission to professional medical courses. The official KEAM 2026 portal provides separate category-wise lists for medical courses, including NRI, along with other reservation and special-category lists.
CEE Kerala has also been publishing other MBBS/BDS counselling updates, including the first-phase provisional and final allotment notifications and notices concerning NRI document verification.
Candidates Should Check the List Carefully
Candidates included in the provisional list should keep their NRI-related documents ready and regularly monitor the official CEE Kerala portal for subsequent counselling and allotment updates.
It is important to note that the document is specifically identified as a provisional NRI list, so candidates should not treat inclusion in this list as a final seat allotment.
