Good Luck!!
But the thing is currently I am doing first-year college abroad so there is no chance I will be applying this year. I am going to appear for Jee in 2022, so that will be my 3rd year since did my gr.12 in 2019, will I be eligible
And if I decide to stay in India after this May then it is obvious that I will not be NRI anymore so will my gr.11 and 12 marksheet will consider ?
Your information was really helpful
I hope you can give me the answer of this question too, Thank you
