As per the memo issued by government of West Bengal Directorate of Medical Education on 9.11.2020 regarding West Bengal State quota for neet 2020 counselling,
to be eligible for West Bengal State quota either candidate or his /her parents must be domicile of West Bengal.
To be domicile of west Bengal, you need you need to fulfill any one of the following:-
- Proforma A1 :- domicile certificate for candidates residing in West Bengal for last 10 years continuously as on 31st December 2019
- Proforma A2 :- domicile certificate for the candidates residing in West Bengal for last 10 years continuously as on 31st December 2019 and also passed 10 + 2 from West Bengal
- Proforma B:- domicile certificate for candidate not living in West Bengal continuously for the last 10 years but his /her parents have permanent address in West Bengal and residing continuously in west Bengal for the last 10 years as on 31st December 2019.
So,
it doesn't matter even if you have done your schooling from Class 5 to class 12th in West Bengal, you can't get A2 domicile certificate if you are not living in West Bengal for the last 10 years but if you are living in West Bengal for the last 10 years then yes you can get domicile certificate and you will be eligible for West Bengal State quota.
Or even if your parents have been living in West Bengal for the last ten and have permanent address then in that case also you can get domicile certificate under proforma B.
