In your article on the subject, the answer `yes' to the second question - does this mean that 49.5% of students in these institutions will be SC/ST/OBC? - is not exactly correct. 49.5% is the minimum percentage of SC/ST/OBC students that will be there.

So any SC/ST/OBC student who qualifies for one of the 50.5% open seats, will be in addition to the 49.5% assured seats for these categories.
