Hello,

The SC Caste Certificate issued in Maharashtra in 2011 is generally valid for the CET 2024 counseling process. However, the absence of a barcode may require additional verification.

As per the Government of Maharashtra's guidelines:

1. Caste certificates issued before 2016 don't have barcodes.

2. Such certificates are still considered valid.

But, to confirm:

1. Check the State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell) website for specific requirements.

2. Verify with the CET Cell helpline or counseling authorities.

3. Ensure your certificate meets other eligibility criteria.

During counseling:

1. Carry the original caste certificate.

2. Be prepared to provide additional documentation, if required.

3. Verify the certificate's validity with the counseling authorities.

To avoid any last-minute issues:

1. Obtain a verification certificate from the issuing authority (Tehsildar/SDM).

2. Consider applying for a new caste certificate with a barcode, if possible.

Hope this helps,

Thank you
