To reduce financial dependence on state funding, the Karnataka Medical Education Department is considering to introduce a 15 percent quota for Non Resident Indians (NRIs) across all government medical college seats from the 2026-27 academic year.
The proposal will help government-run medical colleges become more self-sustaining by generating their own revenue rather than depending on financial assistance from the state.
At present, Karnataka has 24 government medical colleges offering a total of 4,249 MBBS seats. While private medical colleges have a 5% NRI quota, government colleges did not have such a provision.
