Hello there,
For
TS EAMCET (Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture, and Medical Common Entrance Test)
, the eligibility criteria for
OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) / PIO (Person of Indian Origin)
candidates are generally aligned with those of Indian citizens, with a few distinctions:
Eligibility of OCI/PIO for TS EAMCET:
-
Citizenship :
- OCI/PIO candidates are eligible to apply for TS EAMCET.
-
They are considered in the
same category as Indian citizens
for the purpose of application.
-
Residential Status :
- OCI/PIO candidates are treated as non-local candidates.
-
However, if they meet the
residency requirements
(like having resided in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh for a certain period), they might be considered for
local seats
.
Educational Qualifications :
-
OCI/PIO candidates must have the same academic qualifications as Indian candidates. This means completing the
10+2 (Intermediate) examination
or its equivalent with required subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology.
Reservation :
-
OCI/PIO candidates
do not
fall under reservation categories (like SC/ST/OBC) in TS EAMCET. They are considered under the
general category
.
Conclusion:
Yes,
OCI/PIO candidates can apply for TS EAMCET
, but they are generally considered
non-local
and fall under the
general category
, without eligibility for local reservations unless they meet residency criteria.

Hello,
For TS EAMCET, candidates belonging to OCI or PIO categories are eligible to apply, though it is generally treated as NRI. Here are the key points:
Eligibility: The TS EAMCET is available to OCI/PIO candidates, but the general reservation which is provided to the Indian citizens is not eligible for them. They normally fall under the NRI quota.
Documents: OCI/PIO candidates should obtain a valid proof of their status like OCI/PIO cards at the time of application and counseling.
Fee: The fee for candidates from OCI/ PIO/ NRI could vary more as compared to the other candidates under the regular quota. They could be slightly higher than the general quota fees.
To know exactly, refer to the website of TS EAMCET, and the specific guidelines from Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE).
