hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely great.

With reference to your above mentioned query, I would like to tell you that to get admission in IIT's through GATE Exam, you need OBC_NCL Certificate issued by the central government, not the state government. Also, the validity period of the OBC certificate is three years from the date of issuing the certificate.

I hope that this will help.

hi, thank you so much.
i had another query, since my category is OBC-NCL in my state but it is not mentioned in the central list of OBC-NCL, what would be my next step? I am a christian and it is not seen in the central list. I have entered in the GATE application that i belong to OBC-NCL, any solution to this?

My caste is in the state OBC list but not there in the central OBC list. When filling up the form, I assumed the caste is based on the state list. I have entered it as OBC-NCL for GATE 2022. Would they consider my application to be of the general category, while getting admissions for IITs?
