I have karnataka 7+ years of domicile. I am OCI card holder. Am I eligible for 85% state quota during NEET 2020 counselling ? According to karnataka HC judgement of Apr 2019 - that OCI is not NRI, but OCI on par with Indian citizens.
NEET 2024: Cutoff (OBC, SC, ST & General Category)
NEET 2024 Admission Guidance: Personalised | Study Abroad
NEET 2025: Syllabus | Most Scoring concepts | NEET PYQ's (2015-24)
Karnataka High Court has ruled that OCI card holders will be considered on par with Indian Citizens for State Entrance Exams. But NEET is a National Level Entrance Examination. Based on the article https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/karnataka-mbbs-admission , it says only Indian citizens can be qualified for all types of seats except for NRI quota seats. But if you look at the domicile criteria in the same article, it says that the students should have studied in Karnataka for atleast a period of 7 years or students should have passed their 10th and 12th in Karnataka where either of the parents have studied in Karnataka for a minimum period of 7 years. If you look at the date of Judgement, it was in April and last year only Engineering and Allied Medical Sciences Counselling followed this ruling. This year it might be implemented for NEET as well. But before we come to a definite conclusion, let us wait to hear from the authority officially.
