Here's what you need to know about its minority religious (Muslim) status:

• Muslim Minority Status: Khaja Bandanawaz University, including its Faculty of Medical Sciences, is recognized as a Muslim minority institution. This means it is run and managed by organizations or trusts belonging to the Muslim community.
• Minority Quota: As a Muslim minority institution, it reserves a portion of its seats for students belonging to the Muslim community. In most such institutions in Karnataka, including Khaja Bandanawaz University, around 50% of the seats are reserved for Muslim students.
• Eligibility for the Minority Quota:
  • Applicants must belong to the Muslim religion.
  • They must have appeared and qualified for the NEET UG entrance exam.
  • They need to have a minimum of 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology in their 10+2 examination (40% for reserved categories).
  • They may need a valid domicile certificate in certain states like Maharashtra and Kerala.
  • They must submit a community certificate (Muslim) from a competent authority.
• Admission Process:
  • Qualify the NEET UG examination.
  • Register for counseling, usually through the state or Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) website.
  • Select Khaja Bandanawaz University, Faculty of Medical Sciences, and other preferred Muslim minority colleges during the choice filling process.
  • Upload the necessary minority certificates as required.
  • Seat allotment is based on the NEET rank, college preferences, and the availability of seats under the minority quota.
  • Subsequently, students undergo a document verification process, pay admission fees, and confirm their admission. 

It is important to note that even general category Muslim students can apply under this quota, as religious identity is the primary criterion for this reservation. While the cutoff for Muslim minority quota seats may be lower than the general merit cutoff, it can vary depending on factors like the state and the specific college.
