What type of OBC certificate is required for admission in an NLU through CLAT exam i.e. State OBC NCL or Central OBC NCL?
Hello,
For admission to an NLU through the CLAT exam under the OBC category, the following points clarify the type of OBC certificate required:
-
Central OBC-NCL Certificate :
- The candidate must possess a Central OBC Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificate.
- This is because the NLUs follow reservations as per the Central Government norms for OBC candidates.
-
State OBC-NCL Certificate :
- A State OBC-NCL certificate may not be valid unless the candidate's caste is also listed in the Central OBC list .
- Check whether your caste is recognized in the Central OBC list for your state.
-
Validity :
- Ensure the certificate is valid on the date of admission and covers the financial year of application.
Format :
- Obtain the certificate in the prescribed format available on the official CLAT website or as per Central Government guidelines.
Hope it helps !
