Hello,

For admission to Delhi colleges, especially under the central universities like Delhi University (DU), your caste certificate’s validity depends on a few factors:

  1. Central Caste Certificate : Since you have a central-level OBC certificate issued in Bihar, it is generally valid across India, including for admissions in Delhi colleges. Central OBC certificates are recognized nationally and should be acceptable for the purpose of admission.

  2. Verification Requirements : Some colleges or universities might require that your caste certificate be issued by the state where you are applying or have a local certificate for verification purposes. This is less common but worth verifying.

  3. College-Specific Requirements : Different colleges may have their own specific requirements. Check the admission guidelines of the particular college or university to which you are applying. They will specify if a local certificate is needed or if a central certificate suffices.

  4. Application Process : When applying, ensure you follow the application instructions carefully. If there is an option to upload or present your caste certificate, provide the central OBC certificate from Bihar.

Steps to Take:

  • Verify Requirements : Check the specific admission requirements on the Delhi University (DU) website or the website of the college you are applying to. They will list any additional documentation needed.

  • Contact Admission Offices : Reach out to the admission offices of the colleges or the university for confirmation. They can provide you with specific details about whether you need a local caste certificate or if the central one is sufficient.

  • Prepare Documentation : Ensure all your documents, including your central OBC certificate, are in order and easily accessible in case you need to provide additional proof or documentation.

In summary, your central OBC certificate should generally be acceptable for admissions in Delhi colleges, but verifying with the specific institution will ensure you meet all their requirements.

Hope it helps !
