Dear Samdisha, the domicile rules apply for Government jobs and not such fervently for Private sector jobs. I worked in Bangalore in Private Sector for 4 years though am not from that State. So if you have the right skills required for a certain job and that job is not in the State that you belong to, you can still apply for jobs in another State. The criteria depends on the job role that you arr applying for. Techincal skills, Interpersonal skills and at times Understanding the local language are important.
