Hi Althaf,

As far as the categories are concerned, there are the following types of categories.

1. General

2. SC

3. ST

4. OBC

As all these categories are separate and allotment is done on the basis of thede categories only.

Cut off is released accordingly and then allotment is done.

Highest cut off is for general category students, then for OBC category students, then for ST category students and then for SC category students.

An extra category of PH that is physically handicapped is also there in each category mentioned above.

As OBC is a separate category, it won't come under general category.

And according to the rules these four categories are a must in the counselling process and seat allotment.

So, in any case these four categories will be there for you to choose, which category you belong to.

If you belong to OBC category then for sure the allotment will on that basis only if you opt for OBC category allotment.

I hope this information helps.

All the best.
