Hello Aspirant,

HORANADU KANNADIGA suggests nominees who dwell outside of Karnataka State but they speak their mother tongue which is Kannada, Tulu, or Kodava. Reservation is not there specifically for this category but is desirable for Karnataka state government quota seats. Provided that they pass a Kannada Language test for it.

The standards of domicile must be satisfied by the candidates who are wanted for KEA MBBS admission for the Government seats
