Hi
Yes, both the Home State and Other State Quota are different. There is a provision of Home State Quota in case of NITs, IIITs and GFTIs but not in IITs. You cannot use Home State Quota at IITs because not every state has an IIT.
Privilege of a Home State Quota means that in JEE Mains, a candidate belonging to the Home State will get preference over other candidates in his or her home state university.
