You Might Be Ignoring the Advantage That Can Get You an MBBS Seat

The State Category Map by MBBS Lighthouse helps you understand how reservation categories and areas differ across states, so you can make the right category choice during counselling.

Because each state has its own policies, sub-categories, and eligibility rules, which means the same category (like OBC/EWS) can work differently across states.

It helps you identify where your category gives maximum advantage, where competition is lower or higher, and which states you should target or avoid.

You may lose reservation benefits, compete in a higher cut-off category, or even face rejection during verification.

Yes. It highlights state-specific sub-categories, area-based reservations, minority quotas, and special reservations that are often missed but can impact your admission.

No. Central rules apply only to MCC counselling. State counselling has different category systems, which this tool helps you understand clearly.

Most platforms only list categories. MBBS Lighthouse shows how those categories and areas actually affect your admission, helping you make decision-safe, data-backed choices.
