What is SC (Scheduled Caste)?

The Scheduled Caste (SC) category in Karnataka has a 15% reservation of state quota seats. This covers all communities listed under the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order for Karnataka. Candidates must produce a Caste/Income Certificate issued by the jurisdictional Tahasildar at the time of document verification. No creamy layer criterion applies to SC candidates. Fee reimbursement at government medical colleges is administered by the Social Welfare Department (not the Backward Classes Welfare Department); check the latest Social Welfare Department notification for current income eligibility thresholds. Vacant SC seats follow the state's inter-se vacancy filling rules. SC candidates can also compete for GM seats on merit.

The SC (Scheduled Caste) category has cutoff data available across 26 dental colleges in Kerala. This data covers 2 years of counselling from 2024 to 2025. Closing ranks for this category range from 18,265 (most competitive) to 33,833 (least competitive).
