Candidates should have passed SSC and also Diploma in Engineering or HSC or Bachelor of Science Exam from a recognised institution in the state ofMaharashtra. Candidate should either be aDomicileofMaharashtraand/or should be born inMaharashtra to avail the reservation for the Maharashtra state students. So I think that if you make your child study 11th and 12th standard from Maharashtra, that will not be enough. For more info you can visit the following link:
