Hello candidate,

In Admission into NITs, there is a special qouta known as Home State Quota for the local candidates or domicile holders of the state candidates who have qualified the JEE Mains exam with the needed rank for Admission Eligibility.

You can apply for the Tamil Nadu State Quota, but provided you have the proper Domicile Certification of the state which confirms your proper documentation for Admission purposes.

Hope it helps!!
