The Scheduled Caste (SC) category under All India Quota has a 15% reservation. This covers all communities listed under the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order as recognised by the central government. Candidates must produce a Caste Certificate issued by a competent authority (District Magistrate, Additional District Magistrate, Collector, Deputy Commissioner, or Sub-Divisional Magistrate). No creamy layer criterion applies to SC candidates. SC candidates from any state can apply for AIQ seats at any college across India without a domicile requirement.
PwD (Persons with Benchmark Disability) sub-quota: 5% of seats within each category are reserved horizontally for candidates with at least 40% benchmark disability (in most disability categories) as defined under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. Candidates must obtain a disability certificate from a designated government medical board.
