According to the Supreme Court’s order issued on September 9, 2020, the SEBC will not be categorized under the “Reserved Category” section in 2020. Round-1 admission application process had begun on August 01, 2020, and ended on September 09, 2020. 

As per the official statement, 27,000 students were admitted during the first round. Over 2,000 students among the total number of admitted students belonged to the SEBC category.

The Government of Maharashtra has officially invalidated the allotment of 12% Maratha quota for Academic Session 2020, as the Supreme Court had stayed the SEBC quota.
