JEE Main 2023: State of Eligibility
The state code of eligibility means the code of the state from where the candidate has passed Class 12 or equivalent exam by which the candidate becomes eligible to appear in JEE Main 2023.
- The state code of eligibility does not depend upon the native place or the place of residence of the candidate.
- If a candidate has passed the Class 12 or equivalent examination from one state but appeared for improvement from another state, the candidate's state code of eligibility will be from where the candidate first passed the Class 12 examination.
- Candidate passed or appearing for Class 12 from National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) should select the state of eligibility according to the state in which the study centre is located.
- For Indian nationals passing the Class 12 or equivalent from Nepal or Bhutan, the state code of eligibility will be determined based on a permanent address in India as given in the passport.
- The state code of eligibility of Overseas Citizen Of India (OCI) passing Class 12 or equivalent in India is at par with Indian nationals. However, OCI passing the examination from an abroad institution are eligible for other state quota seats or all India quota seats (but not for home state quota seats) in all NITs, IIITs and Other-CFTIs.
