What do you mean by state quota?

My domicile is Maharashtra and I completed my class 10th from there itself. Now, I want to complete my HSC education from Telangana and prepare for JEE Mains.

    State quota comprises 85% of the total seats of colleges. Thus, granting admission to more students in a respective institute. As students within the state can only apply for this quota, the competition level reduces and aspirants have better chances of securing admission in a college. Eligibility for state quota :- Applicants should be a resident of the respective state. Applicants should have proper proof of their residency. Applicants should have completed (or pursuing) their schooling (Class 12th) from the respective state.

    State quota means some seats in colleges are reserved for the students belonging to the state. Like for eg. If you scored 5k rank in JEE and other student scored 4k rank in JEE. Both of you applied to same college but you have a state quota in that college. Suppose you and he both applied for CSE. You will have a fair chances of getting CSE than him though your rank is less. This is what state quota does. It fills seat based on the state students score. And not comparing with All India students.
