Yes, there are reservation policies in place for certain groups during the admission process for M.Tech in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) through AIE CET. These reservations are designed to promote equity and ensure opportunities for underrepresented communities. The common reservation categories include:
1. SC/ST (Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes):
- Students belonging to the SC/ST category are given relaxation in marks and often have a higher reservation percentage in seats. The specific relaxation can vary from 5% to 10% of the minimum marks required for general candidates.
2. OBC (Other Backward Classes):
- Candidates from the OBC category may also receive mark relaxation, typically ranging from 5% compared to the general category requirements. This is done to help ensure that socially and economically disadvantaged communities have fair access to higher education.
3. EWS (Economically Weaker Sections):
- The EWS category provides reservation for candidates from economically weaker sections of the general category, often with a 5% reservation in admission and sometimes a relaxation in marks to ensure their eligibility.
4. PwD (Persons with Disabilities):
- Candidates with disabilities may also receive relaxation in both marks and seat allocation as part of the reservation policy to promote inclusivity in education.
