Hello,

No, a SEBC certificate issued by your state government is not valid for getting OBC reservation under the All India Quota (AIQ) in NEET counselling .

For AIQ seats, you must have an OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate that is approved by the Central Government. Also, your caste should be listed in the Central OBC list.

If you don’t have a valid Central OBC-NCL certificate, you will be considered under the General category for AIQ counselling.

However, your SEBC certificate can be used for state quota counselling if your state gives reservation under SEBC.

You can check if your caste is in the Central OBC list and apply for the Central OBC-NCL certificate from the concerned authority in your area.

Hope it helps !

hi,

If you have an SEBC certificate issued by the state government but applied as OBC in your NEET form for AP, you should try to correct it as soon as possible. Using the correct category is important for reservation benefits and seat allotment. You can contact the NEET helpdesk or the counseling authority in your state to update or correct your category details. Make sure to keep all your certificates handy for verification.
