Hello Aspirant,

Yes, if your caste is listed under Central OBC and you come under the category of Non-Creamy Layer, then you shall be eligible for the OBC-NCL reservation in the CAT exam and IIM admissions, irrespective of its being categorized as OEC in Kerala. Remember to get a valid OBC-NCL certificate obtained as per the format prescribed by the Government of India.

Hey I had applied for CAT Exam and took the exam and scored 99.12 Percentile. I noticed just now that eventhough I clicked the NCL-OBC option, I uploaded my Community certificate instead of OBC Certificate. I have got calls from IIMK, IIMV, and JAP process for now. In all the process, my community was locked to NCL-OBC and I was not able to change it. So will all the other colleges consider me as OBC? Or will I be considered as general Category. Please answer as soon as possible because Im yet to fill some forms. Thank You!
