Dear Asmita, State Counselling and All India Counselling are 2 conducted in 2 individual Capacities. While All India Counselling is held for all the 15% of All India Quota Seats except for Jammu and Kashmir, 100% Seats at Deemed and Central Universities, IP Quota seats in ESIC Colleges and Seats at AFMC. The 85% State Quota and Private Colleges are filled by the respective State Authorities in State Counselling. If you want to apply for Maharasthra State Counselling, you neednt apply for All India Quota.

Dear Asmita,

Since you belong to Maharashtra domicile, you will have eligibility for 85% state quota under which you will be able to get government or private colleges with your state rank. If you register for 15% quota, you will have to compete with All India students for admission. So, there is no need to register for 15% quota.

Hi Asmita,

It is not necessary, but it is good to keep all options open.

You can only register for your state quota but for that, you should check the state merit list and see if your roll number is there. If it is present you may choose to register for state quota only, but i guess the website will give you the necessary details while registration process. 


good luck
