Hi Aswathi!

Domicile eligibility for Kerala usually depends on criteria like place of birth, duration of residence, and parents’ origin. Since your daughter was born in Kerala and her mother studied there, she can often claim Kerala domicile, even if you’ve been living in Pune. You’ll need to apply for a Kerala domicile certificate from the local Village Office/Taluk Office in Kerala, providing documents like her birth certificate showing Kerala as birthplace, mother’s educational certificates from Kerala, and any property/residence proof in Kerala. This can make her eligible for Kerala state quota in admissions. Always check the specific admission brochure (like KEAM) because some courses also require continuous study in Kerala for certain years.

Hope this helps, and thank you for your query!
