Missed filing H1 Last year (Fy14-15), can I apply for H1 under Masters quota this year (Fy 15-16)?

Hi,

I completed an MBA from a reputed school in the US. I had to return to India for personal reasons last year and did not apply for my H1. I found an employer who is willing to do my H1 this year, but wish to know if I can file H1 under Masters quota this year(Fy 15-16)?

Thanks for your help.
