The reservation category mentioned in my candidate portal is Ezhava whereas in the provisional allotment list of Ayush/allied courses published dated 11/09/2024 my seat type is SM- EZ. Why it's so? Am I eligible fully for reservation under ezhava category?
Hey there I am glad to help you out i hope this helps you
The seat type "SM-EZ" in the allotment list likely indicates "State Merit - Ezhava." In this case, your seat has been allotted under the state merit category, but you are also classified as belonging to the Ezhava community.
Although you belong to the Ezhava category, which falls under a reserved category, the "SM" prefix suggests that you were allotted a seat based on merit rather than reservation. This is common when a candidate's rank is high enough to qualify for a seat under the general merit list but still maintains the community classification for record purposes.
To clarify your eligibility for full reservation benefits under the Ezhava category, check if:
1. You have submitted the required community certificate during the application process.
2. Your community status is valid and recognized by the relevant authorities.
If both of these are in order, you remain eligible for full benefits under the Ezhava category. However, in this case, your seat was allocated on merit, possibly due to a strong rank.
You can also contact the admission authorities for further clarification if needed.
