Hello Nithin,
In Karnataka, the Kamma caste is generally classified as a forward community and does not fall under the OBC category. However, the specific classification can vary by state and institution. It's advisable to check the official JEE or state government guidelines or consult with the local education authorities to confirm your eligibility for OBC status in the JEE exam.

Hello aspirant,
The OBC (Other Backward Classes) category for the JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) is determined by the central government and is based on a list maintained by the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC).
To determine if the Kamma caste in Karnataka falls under the OBC category for JEE, you would need to check the official list maintained by the NCBC. This list is usually updated periodically.
Here are some resources you can use to check:
- National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) Website: Visit the official NCBC website and look for any lists or notifications related to OBC categories for central government exams like JEE.
- State Government Websites: Karnataka's state government website might also have information regarding caste categories and their eligibility for central government exams.
- JEE Information Brochure: The official JEE information brochure, which is released before the exam, should also mention the eligibility criteria and caste categories.
Please note that the OBC category for JEE is a central government categorization, and state-level OBC lists might not be directly applicable. It's essential to refer to the central government's official list and guidelines.
I hope this helps you.
Hello, and thank you for reaching out to us at Careers360.
Regarding your question, the classification of your caste under the OBC (Other Backward Classes) category for JEE depends on the specific state government’s list of recognized OBC communities. In the JEE (Main) exam, caste categories are determined by the central government and state-specific lists, which may vary.
We recommend that you verify whether the Kamma caste is included in the OBC list for Karnataka as per the guidelines of the National Commission for Backward Classes or the respective state government.
