Hi.
Ah, I see! You are a girl candidate from Maharashtra, and in the CAP counselling, you were allotted a seat under AI (All India) quota, but you want to know if you can get Maharashtra state quota / free education benefits. Let's clarify this carefully.
Understanding Seat Types in Maharashtra CAP
In Maharashtra, seats are allotted under several categories:
Seat Type Meaning AI / All India Seat Seats reserved for candidates from other states or “open” for all-India candidates. You are from Maharashtra, but sometimes due to rank and seat availability, Maharashtra candidates can get AI seats. MS / Maharashtra State Seat Reserved for Maharashtra domicile candidates (you qualify). This seat type is eligible for state fee benefits, scholarships, and free education concessions. Eligibility for Maharashtra Free Education / Concessions
Only MS / Maharashtra State Seats are eligible for state government fee concession / scholarship.
If you accept an AI seat, you will be treated as an AI candidate for fee purposes, so you may not get the Maharashtra free education
