Aspirants must email their documents in support of the nationality change from Indian to NRI to nri.adgmemcc1@gmail.com. It is crucial to submit all documents in a single email to avoid disqualification.

If any documents are found to be fake, the candidate’s provisional allotment will be cancelled, and legal action may be taken.
Candidates are advised to stay in touch with the MCC website (mcc.nic.in), for further updates on the counselling process and the next steps.
