Deemed quota types
Deemed universities have four quota types. There is no caste-based reservation — only paid merit seats plus NRI and minority quotas.
NRI Quota
15% of deemed seats- Who is eligible
- NRI / OCI candidates. Sponsor must be a blood relative. MEA documents per 30 July 2025 revised guidelines: embassy certificate, relationship proof, NRI status proof.
- If unfilled
- Converted to UR (Paid) seats in Round 3 once eligible NRI candidates are exhausted.
Jain Minority Quota
University-specific- Who is eligible
- Jain community candidates. Only at universities with Jain minority status (e.g., JSS, KLE).
- If unfilled
- Converted to Paid Deemed seats in Round 3 after eligible Jain candidates are exhausted.
Muslim Minority Quota
University-specific- Who is eligible
- Muslim community candidates. Only two colleges: Yenepoya Medical College and Yenepoya Dental College, Mangalore.
- If unfilled
- Converted to Paid Deemed seats in Round 3 after eligible Muslim candidates are exhausted.
Seat conversion — Round 3 only
NRI / minority seats convert to Paid Deemed (UR) seats only during Round 3, and only after all eligible candidates in those categories have been considered. This gives general-category students a genuine additional opportunity in Round 3. See the rounds guide.
