    For admission to JEE Main participating institutes , please see the reservations applicable in that particular institute. Incase of institutes run by Central Government, 10% of the seats are reserved for Category General-Economically Weaker Section(GEN-EWS), 15% of the seats are reserved for the category Scheduled Caste (SC), 7.5% for the category Scheduled Tribe (ST) and 27% for the category Other Backward Classes belonging to the Non Creamy layer (OBC-NCL). Each category will have 5% reservations for Persons with Disabilities (PwD). For more clarity, see below: Scheduled Tribe 15% Scheduled Caste 7.5% OBC NCL 27% PwD 5% EWS- 10%

    Hello,

    categories for home state quota and open category is same as the reservation available. They are general,SC,ST, OBC-NCL, PwD.  a student who belong to home state quota category can belong to any one of the above mentioned 5 reservation category and it goes same for open category too.

    Open category is for students who are not a resident of the state where the college is located.

    Hope it helps!
