Talking from the examination point of view- national entrance examination such as Jee and NEET have a lot of the time period of 3 to 4 months for the validity of the category certificate including OBC certificate which means that before the admission gets finalized the category certificate need to be updated if it is not done before.
Hope that this answer helps you.
