Yes, you should have OBC-NCL certificate in order to get reservation otherwise, you will be considered as general category student only.

You are required to produce original certificate of OBC-NCL issued by the competent authority at the time of Seat Allocation Process as well as at the time of admission, failing which you will not considered for the admission.

Good luck!!

I don't have NCL certificate. But have Caste Certificate and Caste validity certificate signifying OBC. So while applying for JEE Mains should I select OBC category or General. Can I apply through OBC category I don't want any exemption for fees. Can it affect my All India Rank (AIR).

And If I now apply for OBC category. But during JEE Mains counseling I don't have NCL certificate, then My Admission will be canceled through OBC will be canceled or not. Can I apply through AIR (General)?

JEE Main provide reservation for OBC-NCL category only.
If you don't have OBC-NCL certificate you have to apply as general category only.
