Hello Aspirant

If you belong to any of the reserved category like SC/ST/OBC then you must have caste validity certificate along with your respective category certificate.

Earlier cast validity certificate was not mandatory but now cast validity certificate is required along with the central caste certificate.

If you don't have both of them you will be considered a general candidate and will be given seat according to general category cutoff.

Hope this helps

Hello,

Both state and central have different caste certificate with their own conditions but some states has same Criteria for sc category candidates.so check your state and central conditions for SC if they are same then you can go for nit surthkal only with central sc certificate.

Hope it is helpful for you!!
