Dear candidate you can appear for UPSC as a OBC candidate there is no such provision that from schooling till graduation you must have OBC certificate as during only competitive exams you need to show that from which category you belong and you need to show the proof for that as a certificate.

Thank You!

Hello aspirant

Hope you are doing great there . Yes you can definitely claim benefits of obc category in upsc exam even when you have completed your graduation as a general category candidate . Since there are many students who despite having obc category student appear as general category candidate .

I hope my answer helps

Wish you all the very best !
