Hi Chaithanya,

According to the 'Definition of Local/Non-local status' issued by Department of Technical Education, Government of Telangana, local area under Sri Venkateswara University (SVU area), it includes the districts Nellore(Potti Sree Ramulu), Anantapur, Chittoor, Kadapa(YSR) and Kurnool.

The eligibility clause for local area quota is he/she has studied in an Educational Institution in such local area for a period of not less than four consecutive academic years ending with the academic year in which he/she appeared or first appeared in the relevant qualifying examination. Or else if a student has studied in two areas for a total period of seven consecutive academic years ending with the year of writing qualifying exam, then the area where they lived for maximum period is considered as the local area.

Hope it helps.
