Hello there,

In the NEET registration form , the VJ (Vimukta Jati) category is not listed separately. Instead, it is generally included under the OBC or NT (Nomadic Tribes) category, depending on your state. Here’s what you should do:

1. NEET Registration Form

  • If you are from Maharashtra , select NT-B (as VJ is considered under NT-B in Maharashtra).

  • If your state considers VJ under OBC , choose OBC .

  • If neither option is available, select General and claim your category benefits during state counselling .

    2. During NEET Counselling

  • In Maharashtra State Counselling (MCC/State Quota) , you will need to submit your VJ category certificate and choose NT-B .

  • For All India Quota (AIQ) counselling , only central OBC categories are considered. Since VJ is a state-specific reservation, you will likely be treated as General under AIQ.

Make sure to verify this with the official NEET brochure and your state’s counselling authority before proceeding.

Hello,

In the NEET registration form and counselling process, the VJ (Vimukta Jati) category is usually included under the OBC (Other Backward Classes) or VJNT (Vimukta Jati & Nomadic Tribes) category, depending on the state. Here’s what you should do:

  1. NEET Registration: If "VJ" is not listed separately, select OBC or VJNT , based on your state's classification.
  2. State Counselling: During state quota counselling (like Maharashtra), select VJ or VJNT as per your caste certificate.
  3. Documents: Carry your caste certificate and validity proof.
  4. Reservation Benefits: Ensure you avail benefits under the correct category.

Hope it helps !

The VJ (Vimukta Jati) category is a reservation category in Maharashtra, but it's not a centrally recognized category for NEET.


For NEET registration and counseling, you should select the category that aligns with the central government's reservation policy. Since VJ is not an option, you may consider selecting the "ST" (Scheduled Tribe) category, as some Vimukta Jati communities are classified as Scheduled Tribes.


However, please verify the following:


1. Check your caste certificate: Ensure your caste certificate mentions your community as a Scheduled Tribe or another centrally recognized category.

2. Confirm with the state authority: Reach out to the Maharashtra state authority or the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) to clarify the category selection for NEET registration and counseling.


For counseling, you may need to provide additional documentation to support your category claim.


To be safe, consider consulting with:


1. NEET help desk: Reach out to the NEET help desk for guidance on category selection.

2. State counseling authority: Contact the state counseling authority for clarification on category selection and documentation requirements.


Remember to keep your caste certificate and other relevant documents ready for verification during counseling.

If the NEET registration form does not have a specific option for the VJ category, you should select the most appropriate category available, usually under OBC or a state-specific reservation, depending on guidelines. For counseling, choose the correct category as per your state’s reservation policies and eligibility criteria.
