the Bombay High Court permitted a student with an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card to appear as a general category candidate in Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) counseling.
In an interim order, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday permitted a student, who holds an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, to appear for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) counselling for seeking admissions to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) under the general category and not the one reserved for NRIs or foreign nationals.
A bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Madhav Jamdar passed the interim order while hearing a plea filed by the female student challenging a part of the notification issued on March 4 this year by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
