Hello,

Yes, you should get an OBC certificate to apply for the RRB NTPC exam if you belong to the BC community and are a Muslim .

Here’s why:

• In central government jobs (like RRB), the OBC category is considered under the Central OBC list .

• So, even if your community is listed as BC in your state, you must check whether it is included in the Central OBC list for your state.

• If it is included, then you can apply under the OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) category after getting a valid OBC certificate issued as per central government rules.

Hello, Yes, you need an OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate to apply for RRB NTPC under the OBC category.

Make sure your specific Muslim community is listed in the Central List of OBCs for your state, not just the state BC list. The certificate must be in the format required by the Government of India and confirm you belong to the Non-Creamy Layer. A state BC certificate alone is not sufficient.

I hope you found this information helpful and for any study related problems you can ask in Careers360 app.

Have a great day!

Hello aspirant,

If you meet the financial requirements and your group is on the Central OBC list, you should definitely obtain an OBC certificate.  Not simply a state-level OBC certificate is required for central government positions like RRB NTPC.  Verify that the certificate is issued by the appropriate authority and pertains to the Non-Creamy Layer.

Thank you

Hope it helps you
