Hello Sandeep.
Thanks for choosing career360.
If u have opted for general category in the paper 1 and want to change that one in OBC in the next exam,that can't be possible as u cannot go downstairs in the reservation facility.
That means u can opt for general while being in OBC in the admissions procedure but not for the SC cat geory . There is only a rule to come out of the category but not getting in from outside after filling general.
Hope u got ur answer.
Ask for any other query
Good luck
