Hello,

Yes, you can add your caste certificate during state counseling and avail the benefits of the OBC category in Uttar Pradesh. Here's how it works:

  1. State vs. Central Category : Categories like OBC are recognized at both the state and central levels, but the lists of recognized castes can differ. A caste may be classified as OBC in a particular state but not necessarily at the central level, and vice versa.

  2. Counseling Process : During the state counseling process, you can provide your OBC certificate issued by the state authorities of Uttar Pradesh. This certificate will be considered valid for availing reservation benefits in state-run colleges and institutions.

  3. Benefit of OBC Category : By presenting your valid OBC certificate during the state counseling in Uttar Pradesh, you will be eligible for the reservation benefits associated with the OBC category, such as lower cut-off marks, reserved seats, and sometimes even relaxation in age limits and fees.


Hope it helps !
