i am from maharshtra and my father is in active service in crpf will i get benefit of defence quota for btech programs

Hi,

Yes, you can very likely get the Defence quota benefit for B.Tech admissions in Maharashtra if your father is currently serving in Central Reserve Police Force and you meet the Maharashtra domicile/education conditions.

Under MHT CET counselling, children of active defence personnel are usually covered under the DEF category reservation (around 5% seats). CRPF/CAPF personnel are generally considered eligible in many cases.

You may fall under categories like:
• DEF-2 → child of active service personnel domiciled in Maharashtra
• DEF-3 → if parent is posted in Maharashtra and family is staying there

You’ll need documents like:
• Father’s service certificate
• Posting certificate
• Maharashtra domicile
• School/leaving certificates

So overall, yes  you should definitely claim Defence quota during MHT CET/CAP counselling.
