What is Home State (HS) and OS (Other State) Quotas?
To simplify it, every NIT holds 50% quota for Home State (HS), categorized as local students who have completed their class 12 in the same state. This helps them to take admission in their state NIT for lower ranks.
Whereas, the Other State (OS) quota also secures the 50% of seats to students from different states. This creates intense competition between students across the country for each NITs based on their All India Rank. The quota supports the diversity and high academic standards promised by national institutes, while also offering regional accessibility to local students.
