JEE NRI Quota Documents Required

NRI Quota Documents Needed by NRIs for JEE admission?

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) have been defined as people who have lived outside India for a period of 10 years or more at a stretch.

For the purpose of JEE admission, there is one more category of NRI known as “Children of Indian Workers in Gulf Countries,” this is a special NRI quota that is sometimes available exclusively to children whose parents are Indian citizens and have been working in the Gulf.

There are a limited number of seats in some colleges under this quota. Generally, a 15% of total admission offered by a college is reserved for NRIs, as directed by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE).

However, not all colleges stick to this principle. We shall now discuss briefly the eligibility criteria and documents needed by NRIs in order to seek admission under JEE:
