I submitted the CAT form under caste reservation as OBC but i have a certificate of EBC and not OBC which i have uploaded in the form. Will i get to write the exam if they don't approve of my caste certificate? or they will not let me write the exam at all even as general.

Hello aspirant,

The CAT authorities may initiate a verification process to ensure the accuracy of your caste information. This could involve contacting the issuing authority of your EBC certificate or requesting additional documents.
If the verification process confirms your EBC status, your category might be changed to EBC. This could potentially affect your eligibility for certain seats or scholarships.
If your EBC certificate is not accepted as proof of OBC status, you might be ineligible for OBC reservations. However, you would still be eligible to appear for the CAT exam as a General category candidate.

It's crucial to:

• Monitor your application status: Keep an eye out for any communications from the CAT authorities regarding your application and caste verification.
• Provide necessary documents: If requested, promptly submit any additional documents that might be required to verify your caste status.
• Contact CAT authorities: If you have any concerns or questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the CAT helpline or support team.

Remember: The final decision regarding your eligibility for OBC reservation will depend on the specific policies and procedures of the CAT authorities.

I hope this information helps you.

Hello kunal,

If your caste certificate is not approved for the OBC category, you will likely be considered under the General category for CAT.

However, you will still be allowed to take the CAT exam. The CAT exam is open to all eligible candidates, regardless of their category.

Here's what you should do:

1. Contact CAT Authorities: Reach out to the CAT authorities to inquire about the status of your caste certificate verification.
   
   
2. Provide Additional Documents: If necessary, be prepared to provide additional documents or evidence to support your claim for OBC reservation.
   
   
3. Plan for General Category: Even if your caste certificate is not approved, you can still prepare for the CAT exam as a General category candidate.

Remember: The final decision regarding your category eligibility will be made by the CAT authorities. It's advisable to stay in touch with them for updates and clarification.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
