Hello

For NEET AIQ counseling , the OBC certificate must be from the state where the caste is recognized as OBC.

Since JAT is OBC in Rajasthan and at the central level but not in Maharashtra, you should get a Central OBC-NCL certificate from Rajasthan authorities.

However, having a Maharashtra domicile might create complications. Confirm with NEET/NTA authorities if this setup is valid for central quota counseling.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.

Hello,

1. Maharashtra Authority Issuing OBC Certificate

Since your caste (JAT) is not recognized as OBC in Maharashtra, it’s unlikely that the Maharashtra authorities will issue an OBC certificate for you. They usually follow their state’s reservation rules when issuing such certificates.

2. OBC Certificate from Rajasthan

If JAT is recognized as OBC in Rajasthan and at the central level, you should be able to get an OBC certificate from Rajasthan. This certificate can be used to claim OBC reservation in central government exams or admissions, including the central quota in NEET counseling.

3. Central OBC Certificate Validity in NEET

If your OBC certificate is issued as per the central government OBC list, it will be valid for central quota counseling in NEET. Ensure the certificate clearly mentions that it is issued based on the Central OBC List.

Recommendation:

Get Clarity: Reach out to the local authorities in Rajasthan to confirm that they can issue an OBC certificate for central purposes.
