In IAT 2026 I have selected OBC-NCL. Also i have a state OBC certificate and uploaded the delayed application of obc-ncl certificate which i have to upload within 21 june. But after going to SDO office i came to know that i belong to creamy layer, so what should i do now ? will my seat be rejected or will i get a general seat as per my general rank ?

Hi,

If you can’t submit a valid OBC-NCL certificate, then usually your category benefit just gets removed and you’ll be shifted to the General/CRL category. Your application generally does not get cancelled completely.

But don’t upload any incorrect or fake NCL certificate that can create serious problems and may even cancel your candidature.

So if you already know you fall under creamy layer, it’s safer to continue as General category rather than risking document issues later during verification.

Hope it helps.
