Understanding the All India Quota Seats

  • It is important for students/ aspirants to understand the All India Seat Quotas. Understanding the quota would help when they fill the NEET 2017 Application Form.
  • There are three different kinds of seats available in all Medical Colleges across the country. In the Government Medical Colleges of the country, there is a 15 percent All India Quota.
  • Students from any part of the country can apply for the 15 percent seats. For instance, say one government medical college in State A has a total of 100 seats. Out of these 100,
  • 15 seats would be reserved for All India Quota. These seats are then further divided into reserved and general category.

Seat reservation for NEET:

Category

Percentage of seats reserved

General

47.5%

OBC-NC

27%

SC

15%

ST

7.5%

Physically handicapped

3%

 

Also, there is a further horizontal reservation for Persons with disability of 3 percent. In case the candidates for the same are not available then the seats are allotted to the individuals belonging to that category. For instance, there are two students who both belong to the OBC category and are contending for the 4th seat, but one student has a physical handicap as well. Then that candidate would get the preference of the 4th seat before the other OBC candidate.
