OBC Reservation Benefit To Be Granted As Per Government Notifications

Original OBC Certificate Mandatory During Admission
Candidates claiming OBC reservation will have to produce a valid original OBC certificate issued by the competent authority during counselling, admission and document verification. Failure to submit the required certificate may result in cancellation of the claimed reservation benefit.
