Hello,

Postgraduate (PG) admissions in India have various reservation policies on categories such as General, OBC, and widows according to the college and government policy.

For candidates belonging to OBC, a total of 27% of seats are available in central government institutions, which is provided if the candidate is under the NCL category. Supporting documents such as an OBC-NCL certificate are required.

In cases where the applicant is a widow, specific provisions apply under Defence Quota, if the spouse belonged to the armed forces or, in fact, forms an economically or socially backward group. The state university or institution will also have a provision for special reservations or even relaxations in the eligibility criteria.

In the case of General candidates, there is no quota; however, merit or performance in entrance examinations applies.

To get specific information about quotas and reservations , you need to look at the admission brochure of the college or university you are applying to. Admission policies differ so widely.
