I Give my 10th SSC Exam from Maharashtra board. But In my Hall ticket of my 10th. Unfortunately I didn't prove that that I am from SC Caste or Category. The School Tell me to Upload Caste Certificate before 10th Board. But I got My Caste Certificate after My 10th. My problem is that I gave 10th exam in Open Category. So my question is what should I do to give next 12th HSC exam from SC Caste or Category. To get any kind of reservation. Please tell what process to change caste or catagory. I Hope you understand what I am talking about.

It’s a standard worry when category information on a public record is not consistent.

Since your 10th hall ticket reflected “ Open category” and you have appeared in open you 10th result will be declared in open category. The category of your 10th class cannot be altered by an SC Caste Certificate issued after your 10th board.

For 12th New HSC Exam College Admission (2024-2025)

Since you have now valid certificate then you should declare SC Category in your 12th HSC Form so you should not have any issue in your certificate. The category is decided officially based on the caste certificate. This is much needed to get any kind of reservation for your 12th exams or further college admissions.

If you are applying for college admission after 12th HSC, you will use the category (SC) which you had declared and which has reflected in your 12th mark sheet / 12th Certificate, with valid SC Caste Certificate. Colleges and admissions offices will rely on your category as indicated on your most recent official records and transcripts.

There is no need or means to “change” the category of your 10th board at this point, and nor will it usually impact your 12th or your college admissions (as long as you declare and submit the valid certificate for your 12th exam and later to your college, as applicable). So, for college admission what matters is your 12th mark sheet and the most recent and valid caste certificate.

Be ready for verification at the time of college admission. Your original SC Caste Certificate is to be produce at the time of counselling. The authorities will verify its authenticity and that it has been obtained through the proper application process.

Significantly, you should declare yourself certainly with SC Category for your 12th HSC Examination and the college admissions (2024-25), based on your legitimate caste certificate. This will not be affected by your board 10th category, as your present valid certificate decides your official category.
