Hello Vidushi,

Answering your query I want to remind you that there are several rules and regulations in every state about this domicile criteria for all competitive exams like JEE MAIN, NEET, BITSAT, VITEEE etc. You may go through the Careers360 article by the following link to gain a crystal clear conception in this regard:

However I don't know which exam you're talking about here, but one thing I can assure you that if you don't have domicile certificate of Karnataka state, it's definitely impossible for you to sit for Karnataka State counselling. You can try for your desirable colleges in Karnataka through 15% AIQ.

By the way one more thing I can suggest you that if your residential state is Karnataka, you can contact with the concerned authority of the State Government or Union Territory for being issued of your domicile certificate to get admitted in your preferable colleges in Karnataka through State Counselling.

Hope that this information is enough to solve your query.
