Hi,

Yes, you can use your OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes - Non-Creamy Layer) certificate for state counseling of NEET. However, there are a few important points to consider:

  1. Validity of Certificate : Ensure that your OBC-NCL certificate is valid as per the guidelines provided by the state counseling authorities. Some states require the certificate to be issued within a specific time frame.

  2. State-Specific Requirements : Each state may have specific requirements and formats for the OBC-NCL certificate. It is crucial to check the guidelines provided by the state counseling authority to ensure your certificate meets their criteria.

  3. Verification Process : During the counseling process, your certificate will be verified by the authorities. Make sure all the details are correct and the certificate is issued by the competent authority.

  4. Reservation Benefits : Using the OBC-NCL certificate, you can avail reservation benefits under the OBC-NCL category, which can significantly improve your chances of securing a seat in a medical college through state counseling.

To ensure a smooth process, it is advisable to:

  • Check the official website of the state counseling authority for specific guidelines and updates.
  • Contact the counseling authority if you have any doubts or need clarifications regarding the certificate format and validity.

If your certificate meets the state requirements and is valid, you should be able to use it for state counseling in NEET.

Hope it helps !
