Hello aspirant,

Quota/Reservation is the process of setting aside a certain percentage of seats (vacancies) in government institutes( which includes the Central Government funded institutions and State Government/State-funded institutions like IITs, NITs, IIITs etc) while categories include seats for people from certain backgrounds including the SC, ST and OBCs and are applicable to both government and private institutes.

On a broader level, the quotas/reservations applicable for admissions are divided into two categories:

Home State (HS) Quota: Under the home state quota, seats are reserved for candidates based on their state of eligibility (Basically, the state where they have completed their Class 11th and 12th from). Remember, home state quota is filled as per as aspirant’s All India Rank. Around 50% seats are reserved for HS quota students.

Other State (OS) Quota: Under the Other State Quota, seats are reserved for candidates of beyond the Home State. Around 50% seats are reserved for OS quota students.

Hope this information helps

Best of luck

hello aspirant ...

Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) - Admissions into IITs are based on All India Quota as well as Home State there is no state quota .

hope it helps

Hello,

NITs were earlier named as Regional Engineering College (REC), which were set up in every state. Since NITs are in every state(region), so there should be some benefit to the student of that particular state. So, 50% of the quota is given to Home state.
But this is not the case with IITs. Not every state has it's own IIT. So,there is not state quota in iits.

thankyou
