Hello madhav!

No, you cannot claim local candidate reservation in Telangana by just studying b.Tech in Telangana and having a voter i.d. because the eligibility criteria for being a local resident mentions that you must:

• Have studied for atleast 7 years in Karnataka between 1-12 from a state board of Karnataka and also pass SSLC/10 std./12th std. from Karnataka board.

Or

• Have studied class 11th and 12th from Karnataka board and any of your parents should have studied from Karnataka board from atleast 7 years.

There are more clauses for checking your eligibility criteria like your parents must speak any native language or Karnataka, you must also speak Kannada which you can check by visiting Source: KCET https://share.google/gv8iZ5mAj8sPkQsnn

So if you fullfill any of the clauses mentioned in eligibility criteria then you maybe eligible otherwise not.
