Hello Rahul,

Yes, for state counseling, you will generally need to provide a caste certificate specific to the state where you are applying, even if you have an OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes - Non-Creamy Layer) certificate for central institutes.

Here's why:

  1. State-Specific Requirements: Different states may have specific requirements or formats for caste certificates. States often issue their own OBC certificates, which may have different criteria or formats compared to central certificates.

  2. Verification and Validity: State counseling authorities need to verify that your caste certificate meets their specific requirements. A state-issued certificate is usually required to prove eligibility for state quotas.

Steps to Take:

  1. Obtain a State Caste Certificate: If you do not already have a state-specific OBC certificate, you should apply for one from the relevant state authorities in Jharkhand. This involves obtaining a certificate from the local revenue office or district magistrate's office, following the state's procedures.

  2. Check State Counseling Guidelines: Review the guidelines issued by the state counseling authority to understand the specific requirements for caste certificates. These guidelines will detail whether you need a state-specific certificate or if other forms of verification are acceptable.

  3. Consult Counseling Authorities: Contact the state counseling authority or visit their official website for accurate and detailed information on what documents are required for state counseling.

Ensuring you have the correct documentation will help avoid complications during the admission process.

Hope it helps !
