The latest updates from the Haryana NEET UG Round 2 counselling are pretty intriguing, especially for students looking at the NRI quota, particularly those in the sponsor category (Category 6).
Looking at the Round 2 allotment data, it’s clear that while various NRI categories showed demand for seats in government medical colleges, Category 6 candidates also managed to grab spots in a few of these institutions.
On the flip side, Haryana's private medical colleges experienced a surprising lack of NRI quota allotments, leaving quite a few seats that might get converted to the management category in the next round.
Bhagat Phool Singh Medical College: Category 6 Candidate Gets a Seat
At Bhagat Phool Singh Medical College, there were two NRI seats up for grabs in Round 2.
Both were filled:
* One seat went to a Category 4 candidate.
* The other went to a Category 6 sponsor candidate, who secured the seat with a score of about 488 marks.
This is noteworthy, as it shows that candidates in the sponsor category can indeed snag seats in government medical colleges under the relevant NRI framework.
Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College
Over at Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College, there were also two NRI seats available.
Both were allotted in Round 2:
* Category 2: about 305 marks
* Category 3: around 224 marks
The seat for Category 3 was reportedly claimed by a student who participated through the counselling services mentioned in the original video.
Maharaja Agrasen Medical College
Maharaja Agrasen Medical College is a government-aided/semi-government medical college, and its fees differ significantly from many private schools.
In Round 2, one NRI seat was vacant and it was allotted to a Category 1 candidate with approximately 504 marks.
The NRI fee in this case was noted to be around US$75,000.
Maharshi Choudhary Medical College: Both Seats Go to Sponsors
Maharshi Choudhary Medical College is relatively new on the scene.
In Round 2, there were two NRI seats, and both went to sponsor-category candidates.
Given the college's new status, this may affect its appeal among some NRI candidates, who often have plenty of established institutions to choose from.
PGIMS Rohtak
At PGIMS Rohtak, one NRI seat was available.
That seat was given to a Category 2 candidate who scored about 326 marks.
Category 2 generally applies to candidates whose parent(s) are NRI and who have ties to Haryana, based on the state’s counselling classifications.
The Round 2 data shows that candidates in higher-priority NRI categories took the available seats at PGIMS Rohtak.
PGI Rohtak
One NRI seat was also open at PGI Rohtak.
It was allotted to a Category 2 candidate, which again underscores that candidates with NRI parents and Haryana eligibility continue to secure seats in this category.
Pandit Neki Ram Sharma Medical College
Another new government medical college, Pandit Neki Ram Sharma Medical College, had two vacant NRI seats in Round 2, and both were taken by sponsor-category candidates.
This development is significant for Category 6 applicants interested in government medical colleges in Haryana.
Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government Medical College
At Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government Medical College, three NRI seats were up for grabs.
In Round 2, the allotments were as follows:
* One seat → Category 3
* One seat → Category 5
* One seat → Category 6 sponsor
The allotment to Category 6 is particularly important as it highlights that sponsor-category candidates can indeed receive seats in government medical colleges.
Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Government Medical College
There were three NRI seats available at Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Medical College.
Two went to Category 4 candidates, while the last seat was awarded to a Category 6 sponsor candidate.
So, it’s clear that Category 6 candidates aren't confined to private institutions and can secure spots in some government medical colleges during Round 2.
What Do These Results Tell Us About Category 6?
The results from Haryana's Round 2 offer valuable insights for students applying through NRI sponsorship.
Category 6 candidates successfully secured seats in several government medical colleges, including:
* Bhagat Phool Singh Medical College
* Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government Medical College
* Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Medical College
* Pandit Neki Ram Sharma Medical College
The availability and assignment of seats hinge on NRI category rules, candidate eligibility, merit, and how the counseling authority allocates seats. So, it’s a mistake for students to think that just because someone is a Category 6 candidate, they’ll automatically get a seat in a government medical college.
Private Medical Colleges: Only 13 NRI Seats Allotted Out of About 200
Things get particularly interesting when we take a look at private medical colleges in Haryana. According to the Round 2 analysis, there were about 200 vacant NRI quota seats across these colleges. Yet, only 13 seats were allotted during this round. That leaves around 187 NRI seats still vacant after Round 2.
The distribution of those 13 seats is worth noting. At one college, a Category 3 candidate managed to snag a seat. Meanwhile, at another institution with about 28 vacant seats, they allotted 12. Out of those 12:
* 2 went to Category 5 candidates
* 10 went to Category 6 sponsor candidates
This indicates that sponsor-category candidates made up a big chunk of the limited NRI seats available in the private sector.
Could the Remaining 187 Seats Shift to Management Quota?
That large number of empty seats could play a crucial role during Round 3 counseling. If those 187 NRI seats stay unfilled after the counseling process, they might be eligible to be converted into the management category, depending on the specific counseling rules and decisions made. Such a shift could greatly boost the number of management-category seats for candidates, which might then impact the competition and cutoff levels.
But candidates should hold off on assuming all vacant NRI seats will be converted—waiting for the official Round 3 seat matrix and notifications from the MCC or state counseling authority is key.
Haryana Round 2 NRI Counseling: Key Takeaways
Round 2 allotment has revealed some significant developments:
1. Category 6 candidates did get government medical college seats.
Sponsor-category candidates secured seats at various government medical colleges, showing that under the NRI quota framework, Category 6 candidates can land those seats.
2. Several government colleges filled their NRI seats.
Many institutions managed to allot their limited NRI seats during Round 2, with different categories receiving seats based on the priority and merit rules in place.
3. Private colleges have a lot of NRI vacancies.
With about 200 NRI seats still vacant in private medical colleges, it’s surprising that only 13 were filled during Round 2.
4. Around 187 seats could still be up for grabs.
If those remaining NRI seats aren’t filled in the next round and qualify for conversion, they could significantly increase the management category seat availability.
5. Round 3 could be crucial.
The final outcome for management-category cutoffs and seat availability will rely heavily on the Round 3 allotment, current vacancy status, and conversion rules.
Final Thoughts
Haryana's Round 2 NRI counseling has yielded some notable results, especially for Category 6 sponsor candidates. The allotment of sponsor-category candidates in several government medical colleges shows that students in this category should stay vigilant about the counseling process—it's not a given that these colleges are out of reach.
At the same time, private medical colleges are still dealing with significant vacancies. With about 187 seats potentially open after Round 2, the next counseling round could play a key role in determining the management-category seat availability.
Students and parents need to keep a close eye on official Haryana counseling notifications and the Round 3 seat matrix before making any admission decisions.
