Do reserved categories have any relaxation?
Yes, reserved categories often receive certain relaxations for admission to M.Tech programs in Mechanical Engineering and other courses. These relaxations are intended to promote inclusivity and provide equal opportunities for all students. Here are key points regarding these relaxations:
-
Lower Minimum Marks: Reserved category candidates, such as those from SC (Scheduled Castes), ST (Scheduled Tribes), and OBC (Other Backward Classes), usually benefit from a reduced minimum percentage or CGPA requirement for eligibility. For example, while general category students might need 60% in their B.E./B.Tech, reserved category students might only need 50-55%.
-
Relaxation in Entrance Exam Cut-Offs: Entrance exams like GATE and others may have a lower qualifying cut-off for reserved category candidates. This ensures that a wider pool of candidates can qualify for the program.
-
Reservation of Seats: Many institutions follow the government-mandated reservation policy, where a certain percentage of seats are reserved for SC, ST, OBC, and EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) candidates. This helps ensure equitable access to higher education.
-
Scholarships and Financial Aid: Reserved category students often have access to scholarships, fee waivers, and financial support provided by the government or institutions, reducing the financial burden of higher education.
-
Document Verification: Candidates must provide valid caste or category certificates during the admission process to avail of these relaxations.
