I have an SC caste certificate of rajsthan and did my schooling from Andhra Pradesh. so I am a resident of Andhra pradesh now. Can I apply for state quota of Andhra Pradesh with SC category in the NEET exam?I also have a central caste certificate.
Hello,
Your eligibility for the state quota under the SC category in Andhra Pradesh depends on a few key factors:
1. State Quota Criteria in Andhra Pradesh
To apply for the Andhra Pradesh state quota (85%) in NEET, you typically need to fulfill domicile/residence criteria, which usually include:
Completing education (10th & 12th) from Andhra Pradesh, OR
Proving permanent residence in Andhra Pradesh through a domicile/residence certificate issued by the state.
2. Caste Certificate Validity
Even though you hold an SC certificate from Rajasthan and a central SC certificate:
State Quota SC Reservations: Andhra Pradesh will only accept a state-issued SC certificate (from Andhra Pradesh authorities) for SC reservation under the state quota.
Central SC Certificate: This certificate will help you claim SC benefits for All India Quota (15%) but not for the Andhra Pradesh state quota.
