Hello,

As your rank is 17000 in JEE Main, your OBC-NCL will be lower ( better ) because OBC candidates have a reservation

OBC ranks are around 40-50% of the CRL rank. So, if your CRL rank is 17000, your OBC-NCL rank would be approximately 7000 to 8500.

Factors affecting OBC rank:-

1. Total number of candidates
2. OBC-NCL category percentage
