From which year obc seats were reserved in AFMC?
Hello Aditya,
The Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC), Pune, began reserving seats for
Other Backward Classes (OBC)
candidates in its MBBS program starting from the
2021 admission cycle
. This change aligned with the Government of India's decision to implement a
27% reservation for OBCs
in the
All India Quota (AIQ)
scheme for medical courses, which was introduced in
2021
.
AFMC MBBS Seat Reservation Overview
-
Total Seats : 150
-
General Category : 130 seats
-
Scheduled Castes (SC) : 7 seats
-
Scheduled Tribes (ST) : 3 seats
Other Backward Classes (OBC) : 27 seats
Foreign Students (sponsored by the Ministry of External Affairs) : 5 seats
It's important to note that AFMC does not follow the standard AIQ reservation system but has its own reservation policy based on NEET scores and merit.
