In places like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the BC-E category is usually used to refer to specific backward classes, especially among Muslim groups.

For reservations in employment and education, this group is often recognised at the state level.Reservation benefits are available solely to OBC categories recognised by the Central Government for national-level tests such as RRB NTPC (Railway Recruitment Board). If the group is not on the Central OBC list, the BC-E category may not be accepted as OBC on a nationwide scale.

Verify if your community is included on the Central OBC list in order to verify your eligibility. This is available on the website of the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC).BC-E is often valid for reservations within your state for state-level exams.It's crucial to confirm whether your particular subcategory is included in the Central OBC category for reservation purposes before taking national-level exams.
