Hi aspirant,

Yes, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham divides the total seats available for a program(excluding management quota seats) in two halves under open and state quota. 50 percent of the seats in each branch is kept reserved for the local candidates that is  ones belonging to the home state. The cutoff for the candidates applying under state quota is comparatively lower due to less competition for securing a seat.

Hope it helps!!
