Hello,

For JOSSA counseling you're supposed to provide your central OBC certificate not your state OBC certificate.
It is clearly mentioned that if a candidate fails to provide a valid category certificate at the time of document verification, the candidate will be required to change his category to the category for which he has a certificate, else he will be considered a part of the General Category.
So if you provide a state category certificate it won't be considered and thus you'll be allotted seats based on general category.

I have a state obc certificate and I qualified for jee adv via obc cutoff and NOT via general cutoff. so I have to give a central obc certificate to josaa. if i fail to give it then ill be considered as general category. but since i didn't qualify jee mains via general cutoff. WILL josaa consider my jee adv rank or score?
