SC/ST Candidates:

15% and 7.5% seats in each course are reserved for SC and ST category candidates. Candidates belonging to SC/ST categories are admitted on the basis of relaxed criteria (compared to GE / DS category candidates). In case all the reserved seats are not filled, a further relaxation is made in the admission criteria and a limited number of candidates are admitted to a Preparatory Course of one-year duration. This course attempts to prepare the students in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry. On successful completion of preparatory course, the students are offered direct admission to the undergraduate programmes in next year against the unfilled reserved seats for previous year.

Persons with Disabilities (PD):

3% seats are reserved for PD (including leprosy-cured) candidates, as specified by the Government of India, who are otherwise fit to pursue the course and qualify JEE with relaxed norms relevant to this category. For any category of disability (viz., locomotor, visual, speech and hearing), benefit would be given to those candidates who have at least 40% permanent physical impairment in relation to a body part / system / extremity / extremities / whole body, etc. The candidates in this category will be required to be certified by a Medical Board. The Medical Board will decide the following:

• Whether the candidate qualifies for the benefits under this category, and
• If the disability is likely to interfere in his/her studies.
