Admission in NRI quota can be changed afterwards if the student comes under the scheme of children of Indian workers of gulf countries? I took admission in NRI quota at very high fees. There is a scheme of the government which provides that children of workers of Indian citizens in the gulf will be treated as Indian not NRI so far as admission in Indian universities and institutions. I came to know about this scheme only after taking admission. Hence my actual admission in NRI quota. Can this quota be changeable? Actually there is a contradiction between the schemes of the government. One scheme provides opportunities to Indian people working in harsh conditions in the Middle East and gulf countries to provide higher education to their children at the similar fees as paying by Indians. Another scheme day is that NRI has to pay much higher fees. The second scheme is universally applicable irrespective of region and countries. The first scheme is very specific to gulf countries. My father is working in a gulf country so I am entitled to avail the benefits of the first scheme however got initial admission in NRI quota. Please suggest how to get this benefit?

It is admitted that you got admission in the NRI quota. This is a specific category devised by the government order dated 12-08-2004. There is no provision for appearing in the entrance examination or competitive examination for those who take admission in NRI quota.
Therefore the students admitted under the NRI quota do not face competitive examination. They get direct admission in the NRI quota. They belong to an affluent class so take direct admission by paying higher fees.
Whereas the wards of Indian workers in Gulf countries quota they have to face competitive examination. They come from the weather section. The government order dated 21-01-2004 makes for the admission of children of foreign nationals/Persons of Indian originals and children of Indian workets in gulf countries. They get admission under the supernumerary quota. This quota is different from the NRI quota.
In the above provision it is impossible to change your quota from NRI to children of Indian workers in gulf countries. Admission in NRI quota cannot be changed into a supernumerary quota. If you still want to change quota, you may file a word petition in the high court under Article 226 of the constitution of India. For more legal help please visit Kanoon India.
