- Persons with Physical Disability (PD)
Benefit of reservation shall be given only to those castes/ tribes which are recognized by the Government of India and are included in the respective central list published by the Department of Personnel and Training.
SC/ST Candidates
Forth SC and ST categories, respectively 15% and 7.5% seats are reserved in all IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi and ISM, Dhanbad. Candidates belonging to these categories are admitted on the basis of a relaxed criterion.
In case all the reserved seats are not filled, a limited number of candidates are admitted to a Preparatory Course of one-year duration on the basis of a further relaxation. This course attempts to prepare the students in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. On successful completion of the course, the students will be offered a direct admission to the undergraduate programmes in July, against the unfilled reserved seats for JEE.
