Who handles state counselling?

Domicile & eligibility
Most state-quota seats require a valid Maharashtra domicile certificate. The 15% AIQ pool is open to all India via MCC. We help you decide which route maximises your chances given your score and family situation.
Fee bands you'll encounter
Government seats are FRA-regulated and the most affordable. Private state-quota seats sit in the mid band. Management quota and NRI seats sit at the top — sometimes 3–5× state-quota fees.
Documentation specifics
