Not Applicable. GMC Jammu, as a state-run institution, does not have a specific "NRI Quota" or "Management Quota" for MBBS seats.

Admission Process

NRI candidates, OCI cardholders, or Foreign Nationals can compete for seats at this college only through the 15% All India Quota (AIQ), managed by the MCC. They must qualify NEET-UG and will be treated as General (Open) category candidates in the AIQ counselling.
