Using SC Certificate:

1. State Quota (Odisha) :

   • State SC Certificate : Since you live in Odisha and have a state SC certificate issued there, it will be valid for state quota counseling in Odisha. Each state has its own SC certificates for reservations, and these are typically accepted within the state.

2. AIQ (All India Quota) Counseling :

   • Central SC Certificate : For AIQ counseling, which is conducted at the national level, you generally need a central SC certificate. The central SC certificate is a uniform document recognized across all states and is required to claim SC reservations in AIQ seats.

Your Situation :

1. West Bengal SC Certificate : Since your certificate is issued by West Bengal, it may be valid for state quota counseling in West Bengal, but it might not be accepted for AIQ counseling unless it’s recognized as a central SC certificate.

2. Domicile and Residence :

   • Your SC certificate from West Bengal and domicile status in West Bengal might not impact your eligibility for Odisha’s state quota but may require you to have a valid SC certificate from the state where you are applying.

Action Steps :

1. Obtain a Central SC Certificate : Apply for a central SC certificate for AIQ counseling if needed.
2. Verify with Authorities : Check with counseling authorities for specific requirements and document validation for AIQ and state quota admissions.

Ensure you meet all documentation requirements for both state and national counseling processes.

1. Your SC certificate issued by the Government of West Bengal will be valid for admission in Odisha as well as West Bengal, even though you have been residing in Odisha for the past 15 years.

2. Since you have a West Bengal domicile, you can use your West Bengal SC certificate for both the All India Quota (AIQ) counseling as well as the state quota counseling in West Bengal.

3. For AIQ counseling, your West Bengal SC certificate will be accepted. You do not need to obtain a central SC certificate. The state-issued SC certificate is valid for AIQ as per the reservation policies.

4. However, for admission in Odisha government medical colleges through AIQ, you may need to check if the Odisha authorities accept the West Bengal SC certificate or if they require a certificate issued by the Odisha government.

In summary, your West Bengal SC certificate is valid for admission in both West Bengal and Odisha, including AIQ counseling. You do not need to obtain a central SC certificate for AIQ.
