Being a OBC candidate which category should i opt General category or OBC category for better position/rank in iitjee exam.

Hello Chandra Bhushan Prasad. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query.

First up, note that there is one OBC candidate for every 5 General candidates (approximately) writing JEE Advanced.

So, when you are in the OBC category and if you get a very good rank, then obviously the chances of you entering into the IIT of your choice is much higher.

I would also advice you to look at this Quora question for more information:

But, please don't worry about the numbers. Just try to give your best on the exam day .

Hope this helps you and all the best!
