determined with reference to the places where the candidate actually resided and not with reference to the

Illustrations:- In the case of the admission to the Pharmacy course, the minimum educational qualification is a
pass in the Intermediate with Biology, Physics and Chemistry. A candidate who possesses other qualification
will also be eligible. In order to determine whether the candidate is local candidate or not, the period of study or
residence as the case may be immediately before his appearance for the Intermediate examination alone will be
taken into consideration. Further, in the case of a candidate who did not pass the minimum qualifying
examination in the attempt and therefore appeared for it more than once, the 4 years period of study or residence
has to be computed with reference to his appearance at such examination.
(4) If a local candidate in respect of local area is not available to fill any seat reserved or allocated in favour of a
local candidate in respect of local area such seat should be filled as if it had not been reserved.
