Hello

Students need to understand that 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. What it means is that 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. 15 percent of these seats are reserved for the SC or Scheduled Caste candidates, 7.5 percent for the ST or Scheduled Tribe Candidates and another 27% for the OBC (non creamy layer) candidates. In effect, 2 seats out of the 15 would be reserved for SC, 1 for ST and a further 4 for OBC. The remaining 8 seats would be for the General Category students
