    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
