Yes, students from other states can also apply for Haryana: HSTES Diploma Admission. The admission process is open to candidates from across India, which means you do not have to be a resident of Haryana to participate in the counselling process.
However, it is important to understand how the seat distribution works. The Haryana State Technical Education Society reserves a certain percentage of seats for Haryana domicile students under the state quota. These candidates are given preference for those seats, and they must provide valid domicile proof, such as a residence certificate or PPP ID.
At the same time, there are seats available under the All India quota (also known as open category seats). Students from other states can apply for these seats and compete based on their merit. This ensures that non-Haryana students also get fair opportunities to secure admission in polytechnic colleges across the state.
The application process for students from other states is the same. They need to register online, fill in their details, upload documents, and participate in the counselling process. Seat allotment is then done based on merit, preferences, and availability of seats in the chosen colleges.
Although Haryana students may have an advantage due to the state quota, students from other states still have good chances of getting admission, especially in private colleges or less competitive branches.
