Relaxation in cut-off scores for candidates from reserved categories

Candidates from reserved categories will be offered admission according to their rank in the first merit list. For the Open category, the lowest score of the last seat secured in the open category will be considered as the cut-off score for this category. Considering this as the standard of measure, cut-off scores will be relaxed for candidates from reserved categories as follows:

• Candidates belonging to the OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD categories will be declared as qualified on the basis of the relaxed criterion as mentioned below:          

• If there are any unfilled seats in the OBC-NCL category due to cut-off in merit list or unavailability of candidates, the seats will be de-reserved and allotted to Open Category candidates in order of merit.
• But the seats remaining vacant under the SC and ST categories will not be de-reserved.
• The category selected by a candidate at the time of submitting the application form will be final. No requests for any change of category will not be permitted later.
• Foreign nationals applying under the Overseas category are outside the ambit of reservation of seats for the OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD categories.
