Hope it helps !
Since your daughter was born in Kerala and you completed your full education there, she is eligible for KEAM. Even though she is studying in Pune now, she can apply under the “Keralite” category as per KEAM rules. Just make sure to submit valid proof of birth in Kerala and your education certificates from Kerala during the application process. This will ensure she is considered a Keralite for admission purposes.
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!
Yes, with your rank of 55198 you might still secure you admission at NSS Palakkad, but likely in branches like Civil or Instrumentation/Control, not in the top-tier options like CSE or ECE, and with admission more probable in later counselling rounds.
