Okay I will help you.

If you have already registered in the general category for the APSC examination but wish to change the cast category there is a special process to follow . But changing the caste category after registration can be challenging as APSC have special rules and timeline for these modifications but don't worry APSC generally allows applicants to change details within specified time period after registration, but if that window is already closed you may not be able to change it.Still you can try to contact them through APSC help desk or support team.

According to the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) guidelines, you cannot change your caste category once registered in the general category on your application form; this means you cannot switch to a reserved category like SC, ST, or OBC after initially applying as a general candidate.

Key points to remember:

  • No modification allowed:

The APSC strictly states that candidates are not permitted to alter their caste category at any stage of the selection process.

  • Verification of documents:

If you claim a reserved category, you will be required to submit a valid caste certificate during document verification.

  • Consequences of misrepresentation:

Providing false information about your caste category can lead to disqualification from the recruitment process.

What to do if you made a mistake:

  • Contact the APSC:

If you believe there is a genuine error in your application, you can try contacting the APSC directly to explain the situation. However, be aware that they may not be able to change your category.

  • Apply for future exams:

If you want to apply under a reserved category, you will need to ensure your caste certificate is accurate and apply for future APSC exams with the correct category.
