But the prospectus doesn't say so. It says 50% State quota for the State where the NIT is.

THE FOLLOWING IS COPIED FROM CBSE WEBSITE....

RULE OF CENTRAL COUNSELLING BOARD FOR AIEEE 2009

As per the direction of the MHRD 50% of the seats in NITs will be filled
from AIEEE eligible candidates of States where NITs are located and
rest 50% will be filled on All India Merit basis. MHRD will make efforts
to establish NITs for those States/UTs which do not have NITs as of
now. In case, the new NITs are not established before the start of
admission based on AIEEE 2009, seats will be made available for the
eligible students of such States/UTs which do not have any NIT, so
as to keep the number of seats for such States/UTs at the level of
2007, after making due adjustment for the number of seats filled by
eligible candidates of these States/UTs.
A list of the participated institutions will be furnished by Central
Counseling Board 2009 at appropriate time which will be available on
CCB website at www.ccb.nic.in.

RD Ministry changes NIT admission process24 Jun 2008, 0343 hrs IST, TNN Print Email Discuss Share Save Comment Text:MUMBAI: Out-of-state students will no longer be admitted to the country's 20 prestigious National Institutes of Technology (NITs) on the basis of their state rank in the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE). From the 2008-09 academic year, the out-of-state students will be admitted based on their national ranks. The Central government has just discovered that the admission process to some of India's finest engineering colleges has been flawed all these years, with students having lower marks getting a chance to study instead of their meritorious peers. To rectify this, the HRD ministry has decided to alter the admission process for the NITs. Since 2002, the HRD ministry has been upgrading Regional Engineering Colleges to NITs on the lines of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) to provide quality technical education. The government passed the NIT Act in 2007 and all these colleges were declared institutes of national importance. Fifty per cent of NIT seats are reserved for students of the particular state where the institute is located. The remaining seats were till now reserved for students hailing from other states and Union Territories according to the population of that state. A specific number of seats were reserved for each state, whose students were admitted according to their state AIEEE rank. But now, the HRD ministry has realised that such an out-of-state seat quota threw merit to the wind. So while the state quota stays, the remaining 50% of seats in the 20 NITs, which have a total student intake of 9,580, will now be given to out-state students based on their all-India AIEEE rank and not the state rank. NIT-Nagpur director S R Gokhale explained that state-wide seat distribution had several "constraining features". He described one problematic scenario. Assume two seats were reserved for Assamese students, four for students from West Bengal and so on. If only one student applied from Assam then a seat would go to him no matter what his score. And if 10 students applied from West Bengal, the top four would get seats while the remaining six would be shown the door, even though their scores might be higher than the Assamese candidate's. The HRD ministry notification points out, "With this system of filling outside state quota seats, there were situations when candidates with higher marks from some states/UTs were not getting admission in NITs, whereas other candidates from other state/UTs with lower marks were getting admission." The scenario gets even more complex when one breaks down the quota of every state and then bifurcates it among open category and reserved category students. Here too, merit was going for a toss. The notification reasoned the change of admission process to "other demerits like, possible situations where candidates from a particular category with very low marks from certain states getting admission while candidates from the same category with much higher marks but from some other state being denied admission".
