I am from Karnataka, but my community certificate states SC (Adi Dravida). Should I select OC or SC in the registration?

You should select SC in the registration.

Although you're from Karnataka, your community certificate mentions "SC (Adi Dravida)", which indicates that you belong to the Scheduled Caste (SC) category. Adi Dravida is a sub-caste within the SC category.

Selecting SC will ensure that you're considered for reservations and benefits available to SC candidates.

GOOD LUCK!!

Hello Divya,

Since you belong to SC (Adi Dravida) but are from Karnataka , you need to check whether your community is recognized as SC in Karnataka .

• If SC (Adi Dravida) is listed under Scheduled Castes in Karnataka , you should select SC .
  
  
• If it is not recognized as SC in Karnataka, you may need to select OC (General category) .

To be sure, verify Karnataka’s SC list on the official state government website or check with the concerned authorities.

Hello,

If your community certificate states SC (Adi Dravida) , you should select SC (Scheduled Caste) in the registration. Adi Dravida is a recognized Scheduled Caste in several states, including Karnataka.

Here are some points to consider :-

• Ensure your caste is listed under the SC category in Karnataka as per the state or central government list.
• If your certificate is from another state, check if Karnataka recognizes it under SC; otherwise, you may have to select OC (Open Category) .
• If applying for state-specific benefits , confirm Karnataka's SC list before proceeding.

Hope you find it useful !
