Hello,

For NEET MDS , here's the clarification regarding your category:

1. Central List of OBC :  Your caste appears under OBC, but this is based on the central government's classification.

2. Kerala Government List : In Kerala's list, you fall under the OEC-SC category, which is specific to the state's classification.

3. NEET MDS Application :

   • Since NEET is a central-level exam, the classification that matters is based on the central government’s policies.
   • If you are applying for the central quota, you should select the OBC category as per the central list, as the state’s OEC-SC classification may not apply for NEET MDS.
   • If applying for state quota in Kerala, refer to Kerala's guidelines, which may accept your OEC-SC status.

4. Consult Kerala Authorities : It's advisable to confirm with the Kerala State authorities or the NEET MDS helpdesk to ensure accurate selection based on the state and central quota policies.

Hello Navin,

For NEET MDS applications, you need to select the category as per the Central Government Reservation List , as this is what governs NEET-based admissions. Since your caste appears under OBC in the Central List, you should select OBC as your category while filling out the application.

The OEC-SC classification by the Kerala government is specific to state-level schemes and admissions, so it doesn’t apply for central-level exams like NEET MDS. Here's what you should do:

1. Select OBC as your category if your caste is listed in the Central OBC list.
   
   
2. Ensure you have the relevant OBC Non-Creamy Layer Certificate issued by a competent authority to claim the reservation benefits.

If you still have doubts, it’s advisable to:

• Check the information bulletin for NEET MDS for detailed clarification.
• Consult with a local authority or helpline for NEET MDS to confirm your choice.

Correct categorization is essential to avoid disqualification or complications during counseling.
