Puran Murti Vidyapeeth strictly adheres to the statutory reservation and relaxation policies mandated by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). These guidelines are designed to promote social equity by lowering the academic barriers for historically underrepresented communities.
In standard Indian management admissions, the "benchmark" for eligibility is 50% aggregate marks in graduation. However, for students belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) categories, this requirement is lowered by 5 percentage points.
Standard Eligibility (General/OBC): $50\%$
Relaxed Eligibility (SC/ST/PwD): $45\%$
This relaxation applies to the overall aggregate of your Bachelor’s degree. It is important to note that institutions are generally very strict about this threshold; for instance, a score of 44.9% is typically not "rounded up" to 45%.
Aggregate Mapping: The 45% must be calculated across all semesters or years of your undergraduate program.
Final Year Applicants: If you are currently in your final year, you can apply for "Provisional Admission" with your current marks, provided your final degree result meets the 45% criteria.
Document Verification: To claim this relaxation, you must provide a valid Caste Certificate issued by a competent government authority (Tehsildar or Sub-Divisional Magistrate) during the admission or counseling process.
Meeting the relaxed eligibility criteria is only the first step. At Puran Murti Vidyapeeth, SC/ST students who qualify under this 45% rule are often eligible for additional Government Post-Matric Scholarships. These schemes can lead to a significant reduction in out-of-pocket expenses, sometimes covering the entire tuition fee, depending on the state and central government's latest 2026 budget allocations.
