Hy,

The central government has announced a 27% reservation for OBC, and a 10% reservation for EWS candidates in the All India Quota for medical education for UG and PG medical and dental students from 2021-22 onwards.

All India Quota consists of 15% of total available UG seats and 50% of total available PG seats in government medical colleges.


Initially, there was no reservation in AIQ Scheme up to 2007. In 2007, Supreme Court introduced reservation of 15% for SCs and 7.5% for STs in the AIQ Scheme. When the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act became effective in 2007 providing for uniform 27% reservation to OBCs, the same was implemented in all the Central Educational Institutions viz. Safdarjung Hospital, Lady Harding Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University and Banaras Hindu University etc.


However, this was not extended to the AIQ seats of state medical and dental colleges.

The union government has now taken a historic decision to provide for 27% reservation for OBCs and 10% reservation for EWS in the AIQ Scheme.


The OBC students from across the country shall now be able to take benefit of this reservation in AIQ Scheme to compete for seats in any state.


Hope this helps.

Wish you luck
