Dear aspirant

This option comes during maharastra state counselling whether to choose your seat under general category or reserved category. Earmarking is an option for a Candidate belonging to Reserved Category. It is an option for him/her to choose a seat either under General Category or Reserved Category. If you have good ranks and you can get college of your choice through general category or reserved category too then you have option to choose from it. If you decides to opt for a seat under General Category, his/her Reservation can be opted for the next Candidate in the Category list. For this you should select 1 and if you want to opt fpr a seat under Reserved Category and not through Earmarking, you should opt for 2.

Hope this answer was helpful
