Reservation criteria:
  • As per the Government of India requirements, 15 per cent of the seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC), 7.5 per cent for Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates and 27 per cent of the seats are reserved for Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates belonging to the "non -creamy" layer (NC - OBC).
  • For an updated state-wise central list, OBCs are eligible for availing  the  benefit of reservation and information in respect of the creamy layer. For doing so, the candidates are required to visit the website, the link for which is http://www.ncbc.nic.in
  • Any subsequent change will not be effective for CAT 2015 unless there is a change made by the Central Government or judiciary.
