Hii There,

I hope you are doing well.

Regarding your query, it is advisable to opt for the OBC-NCL category during the application process. This is because OBC-NCL offers a higher reservation percentage of 27%, whereas the EWS category provides only a 10% reservation.

I hope this answers your query.

Thanks

Dear aspirants!

The benefits of EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) and OBC NCL (Other Backward Classes - Non-Creamy Layer) categories can vary depending on the specific criteria and policies of the institutions and exam conducting bodies.

OBC NCL category often provides more benefits compared to EWS category in terms of reservations and concessions in various exams including MBA, MAH (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test), and CAT (Common Admission Test).

OBC NCL category typically has a higher percentage of reserved seats and lower cutoff marks compared to the general category, providing more opportunities for candidates belonging to this category. Additionally, some institutions may have specific scholarships, fee waivers, or other benefits exclusively for OBC NCL candidates.


Hope you find it helpful!

Hi Aspirant,

According to the Government of India, 27% of seats are reserved for Non-Creamy (NC) OBC candidates in MBA colleges.

The reservation percentages for other categories are:

SC: 15%

ST: 7.5%

EWS: Up to 10%

PwD: 5%

So, OBC candidates will get more beneficial on applying for MBA course.

Thanks,
