Hello,

Maharashtra provides a 'Hilly Area Reservation' for medical admissions, mainly for MBBS courses. To qualify, candidates must have studied in schools located in hilly areas as per their parents' domicile.

However, for NEET PG (MDS) , there is no specific mention of hilly area reservation.

Hope it helps !

Hello Shrikant,

Yes, Maharashtra provides a Hilly Area Reservation for candidates from designated hilly regions in its medical admissions. This reservation is applicable to both undergraduate (MBBS/BDS) and postgraduate (MD/MS/MDS) medical courses.

Key Details:

  • Eligibility: Candidates must have a domicile or proof of residence in the specified hilly areas of Maharashtra to avail of this reservation.

  • Reservation Classification: The Hilly Area Reservation falls under "Specified Reservation" categories, which include Female, Persons with Disabilities (PWD), Defense, and MKB (Maharashtra-Karnataka Border area) reservations.

For the most accurate and updated information, it's advisable to refer to the official information brochure of the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra for the relevant admission year.
