Hello,

You get OBC reservation in JEE because it follows the Central OBC list , which applies across India. However, MHT CET follows Maharashtra state rules , which provide OBC benefits only to candidates with an OBC certificate from Maharashtra .

Since your OBC category is from Jharkhand, Maharashtra does not consider you eligible for reservation in MHT CET . Each state has its own reservation policies.

Hope it helps !

Hello Soumya,

The reason you have OBC reservation for JEE but not for MHT CET is due to the difference in state reservation policies:

1. JEE Main (National Level):

   • JEE Main follows the central OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) list for reservation.
     
     
   • Since you are listed as OBC at the central level , you are eligible for OBC reservation in JEE Main.
     
     

2. MHT CET (State Level):

   • MHT CET follows the Maharashtra state OBC list for reservation.
     
     
   • Since you have Jharkhand domicile (not Maharashtra), you are not eligible for state-level OBC reservation in Maharashtra.
     
     Conclusion:

You qualify for OBC reservation in JEE Main because it follows the central list, but Maharashtra state reservation for MHT CET is only available to candidates with a Maharashtra OBC certificate .
