The Other Backward Class (OBC) category in Maharashtra carries a 19% reservation in government and corporation medical colleges, and 9.5% in private unaided institutions. This 19% includes the Special Backward Class (SBC) sub-group, which has a 2% allocation carved out from within the OBC total. Candidates must hold a valid Caste Certificate, a Caste Validity Certificate issued by the Caste Scrutiny Committee, and a Non-Creamy Layer Certificate valid for the current financial year. The creamy layer income threshold is Rs 8 lakh per annum, consistent with the central government standard. Candidates whose families fall within the creamy layer are not eligible for OBC reservation and must compete under the OPEN category.
Women quota: 30% of seats are reserved horizontally for women across all categories in government and government-aided colleges. This means 30% of each category's allocation (OPEN, OBC, SC, etc.) is set aside for female candidates. If the women's quota seats are not filled, they revert to male candidates in the same category.
