Category and Reservation Rules

Bihar's reservation system has some rules that are genuinely tricky, especially if you are used to the national OBC framework. Let's break this down carefully.

Category-wise Reservation Breakdown (Government Colleges):

CategoryReservation Percentage
Scheduled Caste (SC)16%
Scheduled Tribe (ST)1%
Extremely Backward Class (EBC)18%
Backward Class (BC)12%
Reserved Category Girls (RCG)3%
Economically Weaker Section (EWS)10%
Unreserved (UR)40%

Disabled Quota (DQ) - Horizontal Reservation

5% of total seats in every institution are reserved horizontally for disabled candidates (PwD). This is a horizontal reservation, meaning DQ seats are counted within not added on top of the total seat count. DQ candidates need a valid certificate from BCECEB-authorised medical centres.

RCG - Reserved Category Girls

Bihar has a special 3% reservation for girl candidates from reserved categories (SC/ST/BC/EBC). This means reserved category girls get an additional layer of protection, one-third of the total reserved category seats across courses and institutions shall be available for eligible women candidates. This also applies at the postgraduate level by speciality, though the primary focus here is UG.

EWS - Economically Weaker Section (10%)

EWS reservation in Bihar is based on the extraordinary gazette notification (Gazette No. 284, Patna, dated 26.02.2019). EWS candidates from other states are not entitled to Bihar EWS reservation.

Also note: OBC candidates from other states who hold national OBC certificates but not Bihar BC/EBC certificates will be treated as Unreserved for Bihar state quota purposes.
