Only candidates from Maharashtra are eligible for backward class reservations. SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and notified tribes are among the social categories considered for reservation. Around 50% of seats are reserved for candidates belonging to socio-economic caste groups.

MH CET reservation policy for socio-economic caste groups

• For admission to a reserved category seat in the admitting college, all reserved category candidates must present their caste certificate, caste validity certificate, and non-creamy layer certificate at the time of document verification.

• Candidates who have a caste certificate from a state other than Maharashtra will be eligible for the Open Category.
