Dear Harshit you havent mentioned the reason why you do not have a Category Certificate. To avail Category benefits, it is important to have a Category Certificate. If you do not have a OBC NCL certificate, you should opt for General Category because if you select OBC NCL as your Category and then fail to produce the Category Certificate, your admission might stand cancelled.

Harshit patel You will still need your OBC Certificate if you want to avail OBC benefits during job applications. If you do not have it, you will have to opt for General Category.
