Primary answer
Yes, eligible candidates who meet Maharashtra domicile requirements can apply under the Maharashtra State category and also be considered under All India category if they possess valid national-level exam scores as specified in the official notification. However, reservation benefits apply only under the Maharashtra State quota. All India seats are filled purely on merit without state-level reservation advantages unless otherwise specified. Candidates must ensure correct category selection during CAP registration.
