Hello,
No , you generally cannot apply as a reserved category (SC) candidate in West Bengal state colleges, including Calcutta University, using an SC certificate issued by another state.
Your SC certificate from another state is valid for claiming reservation in central government jobs and admission to central educational institutions (like IITs, NITs, IIMs, or other Central Universities) anywhere in India.
In simple terms, your certificate makes you eligible for reservation at a central institution like IIM Calcutta, but not at a state institution like Calcutta University.
I hope you found this helpful.
