    • Nursing / Paramedical / Yoga / Other UG/PG: Admission is typically based on merit in the qualifying examination (Class 12/Graduation) or through a university-conducted entrance test and/or interview. Check specific program requirements.

  • Career Kickstart (Placements): SRHU has a dedicated Career Services Department focused on student placements and internships.

For International & NRI Aspirants

Aspect

Detailed Description

Seat Availability

Yes, as a private university in Uttarakhand, SRHU has a designated NRI quota (typically 15% of seats) for MBBS, BDS, and potentially other high-demand courses, as permitted by state regulations and professional councils. It also welcomes applications from Foreign Nationals. 

Eligibility

NEET Qualification Mandatory (MBBS/BDS/MD/MS/MDS): No exceptions. Candidates must have a valid NEET score (UG or PG as applicable). ▸ NRI Documentation: Rigorous proof of NRI status (of the candidate or their sponsor - usually first-degree relatives as per state rules) is required. This involves specific documents like passports, visas, embassy certificates, proof of relationship, and sponsorship affidavits as specified by HNBUMU/Uttarakhand State Counselling authority. ▸ Academic Equivalence & English: Foreign nationals need recognized equivalent qualifications and potentially proof of English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS).

Admission Process

Medical/Dental via State Counselling: NRI candidates seeking MBBS/BDS/MD/MS/MDS seats must register for the Uttarakhand State NEET Counselling conducted by HNBUMU. They need to select the 'NRI Quota' during registration and upload all necessary documents for verification. ▸ Merit-Based Allotment: Seat allocation is strictly based on NEET rank among the successfully verified NRI applicants who opted for SRHU under the NRI quota. ▸ Other Courses: For non-NEET courses, NRI/International students likely apply directly to SRHU's International Admissions cell, following a separate process possibly involving merit assessment and interviews.

Fees

The fee structure for the NRI quota is distinct and significantly higher than the State or Management quota fees. These fees are usually denominated and payable in US Dollars (USD) per annum. For MBBS, this is a very substantial amount. The exact, current NRI fee structure is officially declared by HNBUMU in its State NEET Counselling notifications or can be obtained directly from SRHU's admissions office/website.
