ESIC Seat Intake Percentile Distribution
In line with the latest updates, the ESIC Medical Colleges will follow a unique seat intake distribution across various quotas. The seat allocation will be divided into three categories:
| Category | Percentage of Seats |
| AIQ (All India Quota) | 15% |
| State Quota | 50% |
| ESIC Quota | 35% |
Breakdown of the Quotas:
• AIQ (15%): This quota is reserved for candidates applying from outside the state where the medical college is located.
• State Quota (50%): This quota is reserved for candidates from the respective state where the college is located.
• ESIC Quota (35%): A significant portion of the seats (35%) will be allocated for candidates under the ESIC Insured Persons Quota.
ESIC Insured Persons Quota (IP Quota)
The ESIC Insured Persons Quota (IP Quota) is specifically for students whose parents or guardians are insured persons under the Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) scheme. Here’s a simple breakdown of how this works:
• ESIC Quota Seats are reserved for the children (ward) of insured individuals under the Insured Persons Quota.
• Domicile-Free Candidates: These students do not have to be residents of the state where the college is located, but they must fulfill the ESIC criteria.
• Counseling Process: The Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) will conduct counseling for these seats. The process includes four rounds of counselling:
1. Round 1
2. Round 2
3. Mop-Up Round
4. Online Stray Vacancy Round
• Only candidates who have qualified NEET-UG based on their rank are eligible to participate in this counselling process.

| Category | Percentage |
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | 15% |

| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 27% |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) | 10% |

This reservation policy follows Central Government norms and ensures equal access to medical education for a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds.
A Game-Changer for Medical Aspirants
