Hello,

No, you will not come under non-local category. AU region and SVU region depends on the study period for which you have studied from past 7 years till the qualifying exam. For example if you are applying for undergraduate course then if you have completed your most of the study/if you have studied from class 6 till class 12 in AU region then you will come under AU region. Similarly this is the case with SVU region if you have studied from class 6-class 12 in SVU region then you will come under SVU region. If you have studied in different parts of AP let's say from class 6-class 10 in AU region and from class 11-12 then you will come under AU region since you have studied for more period in AU region. Non-local candidates are those who does not hold the domicile of AP.
