Understanding Reservation Categories in BBA and IPM Admissions

When it comes to admissions to Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and Integrated Program in Management (IPM) courses, various reservation categories play a significant role. These categories aim to promote diversity, social inclusion, and equal opportunities for students from different backgrounds.

 

> General Category: This category includes students who do not fall under any specific reservation criteria. Admissions are based on merit, where candidates are selected solely on their performance in entrance exams and other admission criteria. 

 

 

> Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) Categories: SC and ST categories provide reservations for students belonging to marginalized communities. A certain percentage of seats is reserved for SC and ST candidates to ensure equal opportunities.

 

 

> Other Backward Classes (OBC) Category: The OBC category includes students from socially and educationally disadvantaged communities. A specific percentage of seats is reserved for OBC candidates to address historical disadvantages.

 

 

> Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) Category: Introduced recently, the EWS category aims to support students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. A percentage of seats is reserved for students falling under the EWS category, based on their family income and other criteria.

 

 

> Differently Abled Category: This category offers reservations for students with disabilities. Seats are allocated based on specific disability criteria, ensuring inclusivity in higher education.

 

 

> State and University Quotas: Many states and universities have their own reservation policies, including domicile-based quotas. These quotas prioritize students from a particular state or university, ensuring local representation.
