Ques. Are SC/ST candidates from outside Maharashtra eligible for reservation at COEP?
Ans. No. Reservation benefits at COEP are strictly for candidates who are domiciled in Maharashtra. Candidates from other states are treated as "All India" (OMS) candidates and must compete via JEE Main scores in the General category. Clearing the MHT CET cutoff from OMS will put you in the general category
