In OJEE (Odisha Joint Entrance Examination) counseling, your OBC rank will be considered for the allocation of seats under the OBC category.
This means that during the counseling process, the authorities will primarily use your OBC category rank (2,23,889) to determine your eligibility for reservations and seat allocation under the OBC quota. If your OBC rank is higher (i.e., a lower number) than your general category rank, the OBC rank will be considered.
Therefore, you will be eligible for the benefits of the OBC reservation as long as you have the necessary documents proving your OBC status.
Hello Tushar,
Here's the clear answer:
In JEE counseling (for B.Tech admissions through JEE Main), they mainly use the Category Rank (your OBC rank) if you are applying under the OBC-NCL category .
However, if seats under the OBC category are filled , then your general rank (CRL — Common Rank List) might also be considered.
Summary for you:
Your OBC rank (2,23,889) will be considered first for OBC category seats.
Your general rank (6,07,103) will be considered only for open/unreserved seats if needed.
Hope that helps...
