My son studied from Class 1 to 12 in Gujarat state. Question: If my son is born in Maharashtra and has studied in Gujarat from Class 1 to Class 12 , will he be eligible for govt quota (85 %) in Gujarat without domicile certificate? As he does not have domicile certificate.

Hello there,

To be eligible for the 85% government quota in Gujarat, a student typically needs a domicile certificate or must meet certain residency criteria. However, there are exceptions based on specific rules set by the Gujarat Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC):

Eligibility Without a Domicile Certificate:

1. Educational Criterion : Your son has studied in Gujarat from Class 1 to 12, which often satisfies the residency requirement for admission under the 85% quota.
   
   
2. Proof of Continuous Study : Certificates from schools in Gujarat (Class 1 to 12) can be used to demonstrate eligibility, even if a domicile certificate is unavailable.
   
   
3. Parents' Employment Status : If one or both parents are employed in Gujarat and have resided there for a specified duration, this can strengthen the case.
   
   Suggested Actions:
   
   
4. Verify with ACPC : Contact Gujarat ACPC to confirm if continuous study certificates are sufficient.
   
   
5. Alternative Documentation : If required, apply for a domicile certificate based on your son's education history in Gujarat.
   
   
6. Application Process : Ensure all school-leaving certificates and residence proof documents are ready during admission.

Check with the specific admission authority to avoid complications during the process.
