Students can certainly fill any state/UT for an All India Quota admission. Moreover, there is no domicile requirement for admission to MBBS/BDS seats under the 15% AIQ seat.

There is a special mention in the notice regarding the state of eligibility under AIQ seats for candidates in Jammu and Kashmir.
