While the state government’s policy on making domicile certificates mandatory for admissions into all professional courses is affecting all students, children of central government employees are no exception to the rule.
A government order states that even for children of central government employees, who are transferred regularly in different states, a domicile certificate is mandatory.
A student, whose father is a central government employee, is seeking admission to JJ School of Arts for a course in design was told that she would need to produce a domicile certificate. “My daughter wanted a seat in the interior designing course. I work for the central government and have been in the state for around six years. My daughter has completed education till std XII from Mumbai. However, we will not be eligible for a domicile certificate,” said Ramesh Singh (name changed).
With no seats available in Maharashtra, due to non-availability of domicile certificates, Singh’s daughter has been forced to apply in the outside Maharashtra state (OMS) category. “There is only one seat available in the OMS quota in this particular college. She has already appeared for the entrance exam to the college, but is uncertain about securing a seat in the OMS category. I do not understand how domicile certificates matter, if the student has completed her std X and XII from the state,” he added.

Though a proforma asking a signature of the authority where the person is employed in the central government is sought, the rule exempts children of defence personnel and also children of citizens displaced by terrorists’ activities in J&K, but no exemption is provided to central government employees.
