Yes. Candidates belonging to foreign nationalities or those candidates who are Non-Resident Indians (NRI) can also apply for HPCET 2023. They must check the eligibility criteria of different institutes in this regard and ensure that they satisfy them. It may be noted that the NRIs and Foreign Students need not appear for HPCET 2023 Examination to be considered for admission. A merit list based on the marks obtained by them in the qualifying examination will be used to provide admission. The minimum HPCET 2023 eligibility criteria for such NRI and Foreign students for admission into HPTU courses are the same as those for Indian students for each programme. An applicant will be categorized as Non-Resident Indian (NRI) if he fulfills the definition provided by the Income Tax Law of India. On the other hand, a foreign candidate will only be considered as such, if he holds a valid foreign passport. In addition, he/she must possess a valid visa issued by a competent authority of the Indian Government, clarifying the reason to stay. The first category is the All India Quota (AIQ) and seats under this AIQ are filled by candidates belonging to any State or Union Territory (UT) including Himachal Pradesh. The next category is HP State Quota and these seats are filled by students who have a valid Himachal Bona Fide. Seats are also reserved for NRI candidates and foreign nationals. Apart from this, there are also management seats in private institutions. Supernumerary and lateral entry seats are also available. The detailed break-up of reservation under various categories is provided below.
