RESERVATION OF SEATS in IIT s
categories and the extent of reservation are as follows:-
• Other Backward Classes belonging to the Non-Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL) – 27% of seats in every course. The backward class should be in the current updated
central list of OBCs (www.ncbc.nic.in).
Candidates belonging to the creamy layer of OBC are NOT entitled for reservation. Such candidates are treated as belonging to the general (GEN), i.e.
unreserved category, and they will be eligible only for the OPEN seats – the seats for which everyone is eligible.
• Scheduled Caste (SC) – 15% of seats in every course.
• Scheduled Tribe (ST) – 7.5% of seats in every course.
The benefit of reservation will be given only to those castes and tribes that are mentioned in the respective central list of corresponding states published by the
Government of India (http://socialjustice.nic.in and http://tribal.nic.in).
• Persons with Disability (PwD) – 3% seats in each of OPEN, OBC-NCL, SC and ST category seats.
Benefit would be given to those who have at least 40% impairment irrespective of the type of disability i.e., locomotor, visual or SEVERE dyslexic.
Leprosy-cured candidates who are otherwise fit to pursue the courses are also included in this sub-category.
Candidates belonging to the OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD categories will be declared as qualified on the basis of a relaxed criterion (see 21. RANK LISTS).
Unfilled seats reserved under OBC-NCL category will be de-reserved to OPEN category seats. However, seats remaining vacant under the SC and ST categories
shall NOT be de-reserved to any category. The reservation for PwD candidates is horizontal and hence, unfilled seats will be de-reserved to the respective
categories i.e., unfilled SC-PwD seats will be converted to the SC category seats and so on.
The category of a candidate as entered in the database, which will be made available by the JEE Apex Board [which conducts JEE (Main) 2017 examination],
will be final and requests for change of category will NOT be entertained.

seats are available for preferential allotment in each Institute for DS candidates. To avail this preferential allotment, a DS candidate must be in the Common Rank

with a cap of 10% of total number of seats in every course. However, the seats allotted to PIO/OCI card holders will be under OPEN category, but not
