Hi


No, state state quota students won't be affected by 27% obc reservation in 15% all India quota seats in state Colleges, they will continue to enjoy their reservation for state quota seats.


This is because,

This reservation has been implemented in the 15% all india quota seats which has nothing to do with students participating for 85% state quota seats.


Let's have an example,

Let's assume a state government college has 100 seats. So, 85 seats are under state quota and 15 seats under all india quota. And reservation has been extended for obc in these 15 seats of all india quota seats. It won't affect those participating in state counselling for those 85 seats.


WHAT has changed?

In neet 2021 as per information brochure, For all india quota seats, obc ncl reservation was there only in National Institutes/Central  Universities and not in state government colleges.

but as per today's decision of government now obc ncl reservation will be there in all india quota seats of state government colleges as well.

So,

now for all india counselling, in addition  to 27% reservation of seats in Central and national universities, now they will enjoy 27% reservation of seats in 15% all India quota seats of State Government colleges as well .

Now that,

limited time is left for neet 2021 , so you should be focusing on your preparation,

  • practising chapterwise questions

  • then revising the chapters,

  • solve at least previous 10 year neet question papers as concept behind the question often gets repeated in the examination so it will be of great help in your preparation  ,

  • go through neet mock test papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.
