Nri tag

SYED MUSTAFA ASLAM (Querist) 02 September 2013 This query is : Resolved
We are from Hyderabad Andhra Pradesh, presently working and staying with my family and children here in Saudi Arabia.
As my both children are in 10th Standard and hopefully they will finish their academic year in March 2014.
I want to send them BACK HOME next year for higher education as we do not have any facilities here in SAUDI for higher education.
My question is whether they will be considered as NRI students once they go for Engineering or Medical courses.
Please expalin me in detail the conditions to avoid this NRI TAG.
