Hi,

Usually the caste certificate is issued by State governments. In order to get reservation in Central Institutes like NITs, IITs, IIITs your caste should be in the Central Caste list of Central Government. For example if your caste belong to OBC in Uttar pradesh But it doesn't belong to Central Government OBC List then you are not eligible to get reservation in IITs ,IIITs , NITs. Apart from this, if you belong to OBC, you will also need OBC-NCL Certificate. This certificate is issued only when you have income less than certain limit set by government. If you have both OBC caste certificate, and OBC NCL certificate then you are eligible to get reservation benefits in JEE.

I hope this will answer your concern.

Thanks!!!!
