Hi,
As per information available , In order to get benefit of reservation in Central institute like IITs, NITs,IIITs , your caste or community should be in the Central OBC list. If you caste is in OBC in state but doesn't include in Central OBC list, then you could not get OBC-NCL Reservation. You will be treated as General category student.
I hope this will answer your query.
Thanks!!!!
