Dear Adnan,

In UP NEET counselling as well as in almost every medical counselling, firstly all the UR (general) category seats are allotted before any other category (OBC, ST, SC) seat. So if even if a candidate have OBC quota but if any general category seat is available at his/her rank then that candidate will be allotted general category seat. So when the general seats will be occupied completely then the category wise allotment starts because it will give benefit or chance to other OBC/SC/ST candidates of lower ranks.

Next query which can come into mind is, then what will be the use of caste certificate if I get seat under general category?

So even after that it's very much useful because a candidate can still avail the caste certificate benefits such as scholarship / fee concessions etc.

BC = Backward caste

Hope this answers your questions.

Thank you
