Management Quota Seats: 

50% of the seats are earmarked as Management Quota seats and shall be filled by the educational agency from the rank list prepared by the University irrespective of the rank secured by the candidate. The Management seat is handled by the Institution which takes care of the community and economically weaker and disadvantaged sections of the society.

Merit Seats:

The remaining 50% seats are merit seats and the same shall be filled through CAP.The merit seats include the reservation seats for SC/ST/SEBC/Sports/Teacher Quota and PD Quota.

Out of the total Merit Seats available in the affiliated colleges for various M Ed programmes, seats will be reserved for the different constituents of the main categories mentioned below:
            i. Reservation for Persons with Disabilities
            ii. Special Reservation
            iii. Mandatory Reservation

Reservation for Persons with Disabilities (PD):

          The students who seek admission in this category should submit their application through CAP and qualify themselves in the Entrance Test. 3% of the total seats under Merit Quota(Open Quota) for each programme are reserved for this category. Within the 3% mentioned above one third of the seats will be earmarked for each of the three sections of the physically handicapped (Blind, deaf and orthopaedically challenged) with provision for interchange of seats, if candidates are not available in a particular category in any year.

Special Reservation:

        The seats reserved for Sports Quota and Teacher Quota come under this category.
