Reservation policy

RMLIMS follows the reservation norms of the Government of Uttar Pradesh and the Central Government. Seats are allocated as follows:

General (unreserved): 50 %
OBC (non‑creamy layer): 27 %
SC: 15 %
ST: 7.5 %
EWS (within General): 10 %
PwD: 5 % of the seats in each vertical category (horizontal reservation)

Candidates must present a valid state or central caste certificate at the time of document verification. For OBC, the certificate should explicitly state “non‑creamy layer” and must be backed by income proof (≤ ₹ 8 lakh per annum). PwD reservation is horizontal, meaning a candidate can claim both a vertical (SC, ST, OBC, EWS) and the PwD benefit. Seats are normally sub‑quota (within the total advertised seats) unless a super‑numerary quota has been approved by the state.
