Can anybody from the group advise me regarding what is suggested for
Kids living here in Saudi, whether to go to India after 10th Standard or
12th Standard. Also would like to know what is the NRI Quota and all.
=============
This question has been haunting the Indian diasporas in the Gulf since
times known. The students who lived and grew up with their parents here
in the Gulf countries; back home in India the Educational Shops
(Institutions) keep opening their mouths wide and big to swollow the
hard-earned money of the NRI in the name of "NRI Students", NRI Quotas
and many other hoodwicks are being used to extract our hard earned
money.
It is your choice as to when you'd want your kids in Saudi to leave
for the homeland studies. In my case I have sent my first son after
grade 10 due to ever declining education standards of IISR. However, it
may be different in your case. As for the main question, THERE IS NO NRI
QUOTA STUFF, I am attaching a government order (GO) issued by the state
government. Any Educational Shop (Institution) that voilates this GO can
be dragged to the court and to the "Consumer Protection Cell". Kindly
see the attachment and distribute it to anyone that may need it. I have
put up a copy on the Notice Board of our Embassy also.
===================
Thanks for the information and quick reply yesterday. Well what you
have attached is a good information for all parents, you have informed
to the group only for Andhra Pradesh State, while every state has their
own rules. I spoke to my friend here, whose sister is working in a
Government College in Bangalore, there the NRI quote exists. Same thing
applies to Kerala, while I have no idea about Tamilnadu and other
states.

This will be helpful for our NRI friends
