Hy,

If you apply for counseling in a state that is not your home state, the benefits you receive will largely depend on the specific admission policies of that state. Here are a few key points to consider:

1. Home State Quota : Many states reserve a significant portion of their engineering seats for candidates from that state, often around 50%. This means that as a non-resident, you might face stiff competition for the remaining seats designated for out-of-state candidates.

2. All India Quota : Some states offer an All India quota for admissions, where a percentage of seats are available to candidates from outside the state. This varies by institution, but it typically ranges from 15% to 50% depending on the state and the institution. For example, some states reserve a specific percentage of seats for candidates from outside the state.

3. Counseling Process : If you have a valid score in the JEE Main exam, you can apply for counseling in another state. However, you must meet the eligibility criteria set by that state's admission authorities, which may include specific academic qualifications.

4. Competition and Availability : The availability of seats and the level of competition for those seats can significantly affect your chances of getting admitted. Being from another state means you may have fewer options and could potentially face higher competition for the available seats.

5. Reservation Policies : Each state has its own reservation policies for different categories (SC/ST, OBC, etc.), and this can influence your chances of admission as well.
