What do the category codes like 1G, 2AG, 3BK mean?
Each code is a reservation category plus a suffix. The base categories are: 1 (Category-1), 2A and 2B (backward classes), 3A and 3B (backward classes), GM (General Merit), SC (Scheduled Caste), ST (Scheduled Tribe). The suffix G means the general pool of that category, K means Kannada-medium study claim, and R means rural study claim. So 2AG is Category-2A general, 2AK is Category-2A Kannada-medium, and 3BK is Category-3B Kannada-medium.
