Hello,

Your eligibility for the state quota under the SC category in Andhra Pradesh depends on a few key factors:

1. State Quota Criteria in Andhra Pradesh

To apply for the Andhra Pradesh state quota (85%) in NEET, you typically need to fulfill domicile/residence criteria, which usually include:

Completing education (10th & 12th) from Andhra Pradesh, OR

Proving permanent residence in Andhra Pradesh through a domicile/residence certificate issued by the state.

2. Caste Certificate Validity

Even though you hold an SC certificate from Rajasthan and a central SC certificate:

State Quota SC Reservations: Andhra Pradesh will only accept a state-issued SC certificate (from Andhra Pradesh authorities) for SC reservation under the state quota.

Central SC Certificate: This certificate will help you claim SC benefits for All India Quota (15%) but not for the Andhra Pradesh state quota.
