Hi aspirant
The answer is No. You don't have any reservation in the NEET exam if you belong to the OBC-CL (Creamy layer) category.
27% of all the seats in all the medical colleges of the country are reserved for all the candidates belonging to Other Backward Classes - Non Creamy layer (OBC-NCL).
In order to see, whether you bekong to the creamy layer or non creamy layer you can correlate with the provisions below:
The candidates with a family having an income of greater than 8 lakhs per annum are considered belonging to creamy layer
The candidates with a family having an annual income of 8 lakhs or less than that are considered to be of non- creamy layer and are eligible for admission.

Now the distribution of reservation in the medical colleges of India is as follows:
UR: No reservation (50% of all the seats)
OBC : 27% of all the seats
SC :15%
ST: 8%

Hope this answers your query
All the best :)

Hi

No, there's no reservation for obc creamy layer in neet.

This is because,

Reservation is only for OBC  non  creamy layer ( NCL)

  • OBC  cl i.e obc creamy layer candidates are those whose parents annual income is more than 8 lakhs  per annum and they are not eligible for reservation


  • obc ncl i. e Obc non creamy layer are those candidates whose parents annual income is less than 8 lakh per annum and they are eligible for reservation

For your reference,

NEET  Reservation system is given below:-

Category               Reservation


EWS                         10%

OBC NCL                27%

ST                        7.5%

SC                         15%

PwD          5% horizontal reservation

Thankyou
