I have passed CSIR NET cut off for general merit but while filling the form I had applied under OBC NCL. Recently i was informed that my caste is only on the state list and not on the central list. Will my candidature be cancelled due to this mistake?

Hello aspirant,

Yes, your candidature for the CSIR NET could be cancelled if your OBC NCL category is not recognized at the central level.

The CSIR NET is a national-level examination, and the eligibility criteria are typically based on the central government's list of reserved categories. If your OBC NCL category is not included in this list, it could lead to the cancellation of your candidature.

Here are the possible consequences:

• Cancellation of candidature: Your application might be rejected, and you might not be allowed to appear for the exam.
• Loss of examination fees: You might lose the fees you paid for the CSIR NET examination.
• Impact on future applications: The cancellation of your candidature could affect your eligibility for future CSIR NET examinations or other government-funded programs.

To resolve this issue:

1. Contact the CSIR: Reach out to the CSIR authorities to inquire about the specific eligibility criteria for your category.
2. Provide necessary documents: If there's a possibility of rectifying the mistake, gather the required documents to prove your OBC NCL status at the central level.
3. Seek legal advice: If you believe there's a misunderstanding or if you need further assistance, consider consulting with a legal expert.
   
   

I hope this information helps you.
