July 15, 2012 : The Director General of Health Services has announced the principle for the formulation of the Seat Matrix for the allotments under the 15% All India Quota Under Graduate Seats for MBBS and BDS for 2012. In the online counselling process, seats are earmarked for Unreserved (Open), SC, ST, OBC and PH categories.

In Central Government Medical/ Dental College/Institutions, 15% seats are reserved for SC, 7.5% for ST and 27%for OBC candidates. PH category candidates in each of these categories are given 3% horizontal reservation. The process of identification of seats for the different categories will be carried out by the Counselling Authority/Committee. All Central Government Institutions will be arranged in alphabetic order, State wise and then institution wise in each State.

Then seats will be arranged on 200 point reservation roster for UR, SC, ST and OBC. After completion of UG seats of one Medical college, UG seats of next medical college will be arranged on same 200 roster point for identification of UR,SC, ST and OBC seats from next roster point. After completion of roster it be will be repeated. In case additional seat(s) is / are contributed by any institution after finalization of seat matrix due to creation of additional seat or starting of new course after freezing of seat distribution (seat matrix), before start of next round (second / third) of counselling,the same will be added from next available roster point as and when received in order of date and time of receipt, alphabetically, if required, to avoid any human bias.

PH seats in each of UR, SC, ST,OBC categories for Central Government Institutions will be identified by Directorate General of Health Services by applying 3% horizontal reservation on total number of seats identified on all seats of Central Government Institutions pooled together.

In respect of Medical/ Dental Colleges other than Central Government,15% seats are reserved for SC and 7.5% for ST. PH category candidates in each of these categories are given 3% horizontal reservation. The remaining seats are unreserved (Open). Directorate General of Health Services will collect information from all participating Medical and Dental college about seats available under 15% UG All India Quota and will arrange all these seats on 3200 point roster in case of UG seats to identify seats earmarked for Open (Unreserved), SC, ST and PH seats in Open (Unreserved), SC and ST Categories to ensure that 15% seats are reserved for SC, 7.5% to ST and 3% seats are reserved on horizontal basis for the PH candidates.Seats will be arranged on 3200 point roster by arranging alphabetically in respect of States and then by Colleges.

For example, if first participating state is Assam, the State colleges in Assam will be arranged in alphabetic order and seats will be arranged continuously on 3200 point roster. Then seats of next state, Bihar will be similarly arranged. This procedure will continue for other states also. Roster will be repeated after 3200 points. Next year, seats will be arranged from next roster point. In case additional seat(s)is / are contributed by any institution after finalization of seat matrix due to creation ofadditional seat or starting of new course after freezing of seat distribution (seat matrix),before start of next round (second / third) of counselling, the same will be added from next available roster point as and when received in order of date and time of receipt,alphabetically, if required, to avoid any human bias.

In case the institution withdraw any seat after finalization of seat matrix as mentioned above, on account of de-recognition of seat or due to furnishing of wrong information earlier, the same would be deleted from the list without changing/ disturbing remaining seat matrix.

The method described above has been used for the identification seats for UR,SC,ST, OBC and PH categories in various participating Medical / Dental Colleges for online allotment process (online counselling) 2012.
