2. Application Process :

• During the state counseling registration, there should be an option to select your category. Make sure to choose BCM.

3. Documentation :

• You may need to provide additional documents, such as a caste certificate, to verify your BCM status.

4. Contact Authorities :

• If you have any doubts, it's advisable to contact the counseling authority in Tamil Nadu for clarification on how to proceed.

5. Keep Track of Deadlines :

• Ensure you stay updated on application and counseling deadlines to avoid missing any opportunities.
