Hi,
My son was born in US and he came back with his mother and father -us, when he was young about 3yrs old. He has had his education from 1st STD to 11th - current, in India. He is a oci card holder. When he applies to engineering colleges in India 1 yr from now, will he be considered as an NRI or in general category like all other Indian students. Please confirm
Ans: Pravin Sir, as far as OCI status is concerned, please note (reproduced here the 'State of Eligibility' given on Page No.21 of JEE Information Bulletin 2024), "The State Code of Eligibility for OCI passing the class 12 (or equivalent) examination in India is at part with Indian Nationals. However, OCI passing the class 12 (or equivalent) examination from an institution abroad are eligible for other State Quota Seats or All India Quota Seats (but NOT for Home State Quota Seats) in all NITs, IIITs & Other CFTIs". As far as NRI status is concerned, your son should have completed his 12th from abroad only. And he will be considered as a 'General Category' applicant only. All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future.
