Hi

If you don't have your OBC NCL certificate with you right now then you have two options :-

  • fill the self undertaking form for obc ncl and upload it, but you will have to submit the OBC certificate before the end of May 2021
  • If you cannot submit the obc certificate before the end of May 2021 then you should choose general as your category

So, as you said that you can not get OBC certificate and then you should choose general category but in case if you manage to get your OBC certificate before the end of May 2021 then you should upload undertaking form right now and then later on submit the the OBC certificate.

Now that,
limited time is left for jee mains 2021 , so you should be focusing on your preparation, go through chapters first , major focus should be on grasping concepts , practising questions and then revising them, go through mock test paper sample papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.

If you have any other doubt then you can always reach us to clear them :) we are always available to help you out and guide you

Thank you

Depressed Gamer Perfect Hi
There's difference between simple obc i. e obc creamy layer and obc ncl i. e non creamy layer,there's reservation of seats only for obc ncl, if you belong to obc but not obc ncl, then you should choose general

Depressed Gamer Perfect I will recommend you to go through central list once :-

http://www.ncbc.nic.in/User_Panel/CentralListStateView.aspx

If you fall in this list then you can choose obc ncl otherwise not.

ADITYA KUMAR for ncl there is restriction of parents salary
of less than 8 lacks

Depressed Gamer Perfect In that case, you are not eligible for obc ncl, if parent's income is more than 8 lakh then you fall in creamy layer of obc, and thus not eligible for reservation. please choose general as your category
