    IIM Kozhikode Students Question asked

    On Question asked by student community
    Have questions related to IIM Kozhikode?
    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!

    Hello

    You selected NCL-OBC in the CAT form, so colleges will see you as an OBC candidate for shortlisting.
    However, for final admission, they will ask for a valid OBC-NCL certificate.
    Uploading a general community certificate does not fully prove OBC-NCL status.
    If you can submit the correct OBC-NCL certificate

    So i was applying for CAT 2025 and I have made the payment and it was successful also.In my bank statement also it is showing the amount is debited to IIMK icici bank account however in the portal it is showing failed.Its been more than 48 hours and status is same.No response from CAT helpdesk

    In situations like yours, where the CAT 2025 payment has been successfully debited from your bank account but the portal shows the transaction as failed, it is usually due to a technical delay in updating the system. Such discrepancies can sometimes take more than 48 hours to be resolved automatically.
