My son is studying in India and has passed Class 1 to Class 12 from India. I am working outside India since last 3 years (NRI). Question: Is my son eligible under NRI quota ? What are the documents required to be produced for my son and myself to get NRI quota ?
Hello there,
Yes, your son may be eligible for the NRI quota as you have been working outside India for the last three years, which qualifies you as a Non-Resident Indian (NRI). However, eligibility for the NRI quota can vary slightly depending on the institution or state policies.
Documents Required:
-
For You (Parent) :
- A valid passport showing proof of NRI status.
- Proof of residence in the foreign country (e.g., utility bills, rental agreements, or employer certificate).
- Employment certificate or income proof from the foreign employer.
-
NRI declaration or affidavit from a competent authority stating your NRI status.
-
For Your Son (Student) :
- Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates.
- Transfer and migration certificates.
- Proof of relationship with the NRI (e.g., birth certificate, passport mentioning parent names).
- Passport-sized photographs.
-
Admission application form under the NRI quota.
General Documents :
- NRI sponsorship letter (if required by the institution).
-
Equivalence certificate from the Association of Indian Universities (if applicable).
Procedure:
- Confirm the institution’s specific requirements for the NRI quota through their official website or admission office.
- Submit the required documents during the admission process.
- Some colleges or states may require you to register under a specific NRI category portal for counseling.
Each college or university might have additional documentation requirements, so it’s important to directly contact the institution your son is applying to for precise details.
