Hello,

As per my knowledge,  the Vaishya caste is the sub-cate which was under OBC category but not few of them falls under obc as well as general category.  So,  I request you to kindly check your caste / Category from the category list of the state. Apart from that let me tell you a bit about the cut - off criteria of this year for getting seat in any of the Govt.  Medical College  you must score at least 50 percentile (720 -136) for open category and 40 percentile ( 137 - 108 ) for OBC/SC/ST category.

Greetings Aspirant,

I hope you are doing well. Other Backward Classes (OBCs) is an official name given to caste/communities that are educationally or socially disadvantaged. The Constitution does not define Other Backward Classes. Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Muslims, Christians can all be made part of the OBC list.  If you are Christian then you would be considered as OBC during the neet councelling.

OBC status was given to Vaishya Vanis in 2008 , which later got removed in 2011. At present some Vaishya Vanis fall under OBC and some under General category.
