Hello,

Indeed, you are allowed to alter your category from General to OBC during state counseling, as long as you truly belong to the OBC category acknowledged by your state and possess a legitimate OBC certificate issued by an appropriate authority.

Although you applied in the General category on the NEET application and your results indicate that, state counselling is organized independently by state officials, who typically permit candidates to register with their accurate and updated category during the counselling registration phase.

To accomplish this, you need to generate a valid OBC certificate in the required format, typically dated within a designated period (commonly within one year prior to counseling). If your caste is acknowledged as OBC in your state and you satisfy the Non-Creamy Layer requirements, your application ought to be approved during the verification at the state level.

In conclusion, you can change to the OBC category in state counselling only, not in AIQ, provided you have the appropriate documentation. Ensure to visit the official website of your state's counselling authority for precise dates, formats, and certification requirements.

Hope this helps. All the best!
