Hello Aspirant,

Here's the difference between the two processes of admission

Institutional Quota

• Merit-based: Admissions are primarily based on the candidate's performance in entrance exams or academic records.

• Transparent process: Follows a standardized admission process with clear eligibility criteria.
• Fee structure: Generally lower compared to management quota.
• Seats: A portion of the total seats in an institution is reserved for this quota.

Management Quota

• Non-merit based: Admissions are often influenced by factors other than academic merit, such as donations, recommendations, or connections.

• Less transparent process: The admission criteria and process can be less clear and more flexible.
• Higher fees: Significantly higher fees compared to institutional quota.
• Seats: A portion of the total seats is reserved for this quota, controlled by the institution's management.

If you want admission to an institution with a management quota, you need to go to the college/university and ask for the procedure because every college has a different rule and process that they follow

Hope this helps
