Hello Rahul,

Since you have Maharashtra domicile , the Maharashtra authorities will not issue a Central OBC certificate because Jat is not recognized as OBC in Maharashtra.

However, you can get a Central OBC certificate from Rajasthan , where Jats are under the OBC category. This certificate will be valid for Central Government quota admissions , including All India Quota (AIQ) counselling in NEET .

Key Points:

  1. State OBC and Central OBC are different: Since Jats are not OBC in Maharashtra, you cannot get a Maharashtra OBC certificate.

  2. Central OBC certificate from Rajasthan is valid for AIQ: As long as the caste is listed under the Central OBC list, you can use it for NEET AIQ counselling.

  3. For Maharashtra State Quota, you will be treated as General: Since Maharashtra does not recognize Jats as OBC, you cannot claim OBC benefits in state quota seats.

You should apply for a Central OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate from Rajasthan and use it for NEET AIQ counselling .
