Will the MBBS seats increase in NEET 2021? Can anyone explain the reservation of EWS and OBC? Didn't it exist before? What's new about that?

Hello aspirant

Overall AIQ seats will increase from the last year. As some of new colleges are getting open in some states which will contribute to the AIQ seats. State quota seats will increase only when a new Medical college is opened in your state.

Now if we talk about reservation, so earlier than this year there were no reservations for EWS and OBC category in AIQ counseling only SC/ST/PWD have reservations for them although almost in every state this reservation was  prevelent.

earlier it was like SC have 15% reservation and 7.5% reservation for ST category other than that all other remaining almost 77% seats were distributed in Gen,obc, EWS category based on their gen merit. But from now this year 27% reservation for OBC and 10% seats reservation for EWS will also be applicable. So overall Gen category seats in AIQ get reduced to 40% only.

As large population of India is OBC you might seen a cut of raise in that category due to this reservation although it's not sure. That may happen for EWS also.

so I think I have explained all the aspects of reservation. Seat availability will be clear once counselling get started.
