Sir, my daughter is a student from SRM medical college, her date of admission is Aug 2008 and last day was 3-4-2014. I have been residing in chennai since 1st March 2012. She also got her passport form chennai 7-4-2014 and I have also obtained a ration card in November 2015, she also got her voter id. As per the norm if a student completes 5 years of education she is eligible to b a native for furthering her education. Basing on d information available from tahsildars office I have applied for a nativity certificate with the above details but her application was rejected stating that I could not establish that she her stay in chennai for more than 5 years and also her stay in the hostel is not taken into consideration and also her mother tongue is Telugu. They have orally stated that people born in other states are not eligible for a nativity certificate. I request your opinion and what is the remedy I can exercise.

The Tahsildar is right. Stay in a university/college hostel cannot be treated as domicile as there was no inherent intention to reside in that place.
