Hello Ashiq,

To answer your query, I want to notify you that like every year, after few days of the completion of the registration procedure for NEET examination, a correction window was provided this year also from the NEET authority to rectify all the mistakes done by the aspirants at the time of their registrations but unfortunately now the last correction date has also passed a few time ago. So now you've nothing to do in this regard and  this  mistake unfortunately can affect your ranks and college selection procedure at the time of counselling. Because there's several extra advantages for an OBC category student : as an example , according to previous year (2019) merit list of Medical College KOLKATA , the cutoff marks was 614 for UG category student whereas for OBC canditates it was decreased to 606. You can also check previous year's informations of the eminent Government Colleges to gain a vivid perception about the difference between the qualifying marks of General and OBC canditates through the following link:

So you have undoubtedly missed this chance for this regrattable blunder.

However there's nothing to be so much bothered, as OBC category doesn't have enormous advantages like SC and ST category. So don't be panic as you just have missed a small opportunity , not a huge one.

Now I can advise you to forget this unwanted mistake and just prepare yourself with utmost dedication to give the best in your upcoming NEET examination on tomorrow.

Wish you all the best.

Hey

As per the guideline, Students who have wrongly filled their category are given chance to rectify their mistake and are allowed to change their category when the correction window opens. But if the correction dates are passed, you can't do anything. You will be considered in General category and you will be allocated seat as per the unreserved category counseling.

You can contact the NEET help desk available on their official website for further assistance.
