If you have uploaded the Central OBC certificate instead of the State OBC certificate in your UPSI 2025 form, it may create a problem because UPSI recruitment generally requires the State OBC certificate issued by the state government. Using the wrong certificate could lead to rejection at the time of document verification.
what you can do is,

Keep the correct State OBC certificate ready before the document verification stage. If the application correction window is provided, update it with the proper certificate. If correction is not allowed, don’t worry you will usually be asked to produce the correct documents at verification. If you fail to provide the valid state certificate, your candidature may be treated under the General category instead of OBC, but your form won’t be outright cancelled.

Hello Aspirant,

Uploading the Central OBC certificate instead of the State OBC certificate in the UPSI 2025 application can be problematic at the time of document verification. UPSI usually accepts only the OBC certificate issued by the State (with proper domicile proof) for reservation purposes. What to do:

• Check whether there is a correction window available - If yes, re-upload the correct State OBC certificate.
• If no correction window, keep your valid State OBC certificate handy to be produced at the time of document verification.
• If you fail to provide the OBC certificate that is correct at verification, you may be treated as General category, although in this case the form may not usually be cancelled.

In other words, your form will not be cancelled, however, you may lose the benefit of having OBC reservation unless you produce the correct State certificate at the time of verification.

Hi—since you’ve uploaded a Central OBC certificate instead of the State OBC certificate in your UPSI 2025 form, you’re right to be concerned. Here’s what you can do to fix it:

1. Contact the UPSI Exam Authority Immediately: Send a clear email or call their helpline as soon as possible. Explain what went wrong and ask how you can update your certificate before final submission. Uploading the correct one during this stage could help avoid disqualification.

2. Keep Proofs Ready: Be prepared to present both your current (central) certificate and the correct state OBC certificate during document verification. If you explain the situation honestly, most officials allow rectification at that point.

In short: Mistakes happen—and they can be resolved if you act fast, communicate clearly, and carry the correct documents with you.

If you had uploading the wrong certificate, and it’s good you noticed this early. In most state-level recruitment exams like UPSI, the reservation benefits are provided only on the basis of state OBC certificate issued by the state authority. A central OBC certificate is valid for central government jobs but not for state-level exams. If you have uploaded a central OBC certificate instead of the state one, it might cause issues during the document verification stage. But don’t panic — your form is usually not cancelled just because of this. What happens is, if you cannot provide the correct state OBC certificate during verification, your application will be treated under the General (Unreserved) category instead of OBC.

What you should do now is try to apply for the state OBC certificate as soon as possible from your local Tehsil/SDM office if you don’t already have one. Also, keep checking the official UPSI website for any correction window announcements, as many recruitment boards allow candidates to edit/upload correct documents later. If correction is not allowed online, you should carry the valid certificate at the time of verification. In case you don’t manage to arrange it, you’ll still be eligible under general category, so your form won’t be outright cancelled.

Thank you !
