Below are the details-

ACADEMIC

Applicants should be in possession of an MBBS degree or a provisional MBBS pass certificate recognised by NMC (MCI) with an MBBS qualification registered permanently or provisionally with NMC (MCI) or State Medical Council and who have completed one year of internship on or before 31.07.2025. Admission to such candidates will be given only after they have obtained registration with the Kerala State Medical Council/ erstwhile Travancore-Cochin Medical Council (TC Medical Council).

NATIVITY

Applicants should have satisfied any of the following conditions-

1 Applicant should be an Indian Citizen of Kerala origin.

2 Only Indian citizens are eligible for admission to Professional courses unless otherwise notified. However, keeping in view the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the OCI cardholders will now be eligible for the rights which were provided to them earlier. They will be treated at par with Indian citizens and will be eligible for UR (General) category seats as well as NRI seats for the purpose of counselling. PIO/OCI candidates will not be eligible for any kind of reservation.

3 Candidates who are sons/daughters of Non-Keralite parents, who have obtained an MBBS Degree from any of the Medical Colleges in the State of Kerala. But they will not be eligible for Communal/Special/Persons with Disability reservation benefits.

4 As per the judgment, the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala has ordered that the Nativity clause, to the extent it disqualifies the petitioner or other Medical Officers from applying under the service quota of the Act, is invalid and unconstitutional and, therefore, declared null and void. Hence, non-Keralite service doctors are eligible to apply under the service quota.

1 For Medical Education service quota candidates, the upper age limit will be 49 years as on 31st December of the year of issue of notification of CEE by assuring a minimum of 10 years of service after completion of the course as stipulated in the Service Quota Rules (Including the candidates from IIMS, Palakkad).
