Your group in the preference order decides your place. It depends on whether you are BPL (Below Poverty Line) or APL (Above Poverty Line), and on whether you are a widow or divorced or abandoned. Find your group in the table below before you apply.
Your certificates matter as much as your marks. Income, caste and residence certificates must be digitally signed by the tehsil and verifiable online, so a certificate that cannot be checked online will not count.
