Hey there I am glad to help you out i hope this helps you

In your relative's case, here's how it could work:

- local Status (Telangana): A candidate is considered local if they have studied in the state for at least  four consecutive years immediately preceding the qualifying examination (in this case, the Intermediate). Since your relative studied from Class 6 to Class 9 in Telangana, and Intermediate in Telangana this makes it five years of study in total, satisfying the local status requirement.

-Non-Local Status: If a candidate does not meet the local criteria (like studying outside Telangana for a significant portion of the qualifying years), they may be considered non-local.

Since your relative studied 4+ years in Telangana, they should likely be considered a local candidate for NEET under Telangana’s local category.

For NEET 2024 in Telangana, the local or non-local status of a candidate typically depends on the state's specific residency rules, which can be quite detailed. Generally, candidates who have studied for a significant portion of their schooling (usually from Class 6 to 10) in Telangana are considered locals. Since your relative studied in Telangana from Class 6 to 9 and then completed Intermediate in the state, they may qualify as a local candidate under the local residency criteria.

However, exact eligibility criteria can vary and are subject to changes. It is crucial to consult the official NEET guidelines or contact the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) for the most accurate and updated information.

Hope it helps !
