Hello,

Other Backward Class (OBC) is a collective term used by the Government of India to classify castes which are educationally or socially disadvantaged. It is one of several official classifications of the population of India, along with Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SCs and STs).

OBC and BC( Backward class) are same . Most of the states use OBC for BC other than some states like Tamilnadu.

BC-1 and BC-2 are caste categories that fall under the OBC zone i.e Other Backward Class.

OBC -I get more privilege and priority in the reservation system, while the students falling under the OBC-II category are somewhat similar to the general category with minimal add on benefits in the education or employment sector.

Hope this helps
