Hii,

No, you will not be eligible for the Haryana Home State (HS) category at NIT Kurukshetra.
You completed your 12th grade in Haryana, hence you will be counted under the Haryana home state quota at NIT Kurukshetra.  However, Haryana does not have a ST category, thus your Jharkhand ST certificate will not be valid there.  That is, you will not receive ST benefits at NIT Kurukshetra.

You will be treated as a general category.  To receive ST benefits, choose NITs in Jharkhand, such as NIT Jamshedpur, where your ST certificate is valid.

Hello,

No, you will not be considered under Haryana home state quota for NIT Kurukshetra.

Since you are a Jharkhand domicile , you will be considered under the Home State quota for NIT Jamshedpur (which is in Jharkhand).

For NIT Kurukshetra (which is in Haryana), you will be considered under the Other State quota , even though you did your 12th from Haryana.

Also, ST category benefit will be given only if your category is valid as per central list .

Hope it helps !

To determine if you'll be considered for the Haryana home state quota at NIT Kurukshetra, let's break down the key factors:

- Home State Quota Eligibility: NIT Kurukshetra reserves 50% of its seats for candidates from Haryana, with the remaining 50% allocated through the All India Quota (AIQ). To be eligible for the home state quota, you typically need to have a domicile certificate from Haryana.

- Domicile vs. 12th Standard Residence: In your case, you have a Jharkhand domicile but completed your 12th standard from Haryana. According to previous responses, the state of eligibility for home state quota is often determined by where you completed your 10+2, which in your case is Haryana. However, having a domicile certificate from Jharkhand might affect your eligibility for Haryana's home state quota.

- ST Category Reservation: For reservation benefits, the caste certificate typically needs to be from the same state you're claiming reservation in. If your ST certificate is from Jharkhand, you might not be eligible for ST reservation in Haryana.³

Given these factors, it's uncertain whether you'll be considered for the Haryana home state quota as an ST category candidate. To clarify your eligibility, consider the following steps:

- Contact NIT Kurukshetra's Admission Office: Reach out to the admission office directly to inquire about your eligibility for the home state quota and ST category reservation.

- Check Official Notifications: Look for official notifications or guidelines from NIT Kurukshetra or the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) regarding home state quota eligibility and reservation policies.

By taking these steps, you'll get a clearer understanding of your chances and the specific requirements for NIT Kurukshetra.
