As per the NEET 2019 reservation criteria, 15% seats are reserved for SC candidates, for ST aspirants the percentage of seats reserved is 7.5%, while 27% of the total seats have been reserved for the candidates belonging to OBC category. The admission to remaining seats will be done on the basis of NEET scores. Besides that, 5% horizontal reservation will be done for the Persons With Disabilities (PWD).
