The National Testing Agency (NTA) has revised the eligibility criteria for Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) intending to appear for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG). 

Earlier, OCIs and PIOs were not eligible for admission against any seat reserved for Indian citizens as they were treated as foreigners. They were eligible only for admission against seats reserved for NRI students.

The eligibility has been amended to allow Non Resident Indians (NRIs), OCIs, PIOs and Foreign Nationals to apply for admission in Medical, Dental, Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Homeopathy colleges.
