Hello,

Indeed, when you seek admission to a government polytechnic college under the SEBC (Socially and Educationally Backward Class) category, it is necessary to present a caste validity certificate during the admission process.

When completing the application form, you might only need to upload or indicate your caste certificate at the beginning. During the document verification and admission process, possessing the caste validity certificate is crucial to validate your eligibility for SEBC reservation benefits.

In the absence of this certificate, your claim for the SEBC category may face rejection, potentially resulting in the loss of an opportunity for a reserved seat or fee reductions. Hence, it is highly advisable to apply for and secure your caste validity certificate as soon as possible to prevent any complications or denials during the final admission procedure.

Hope this helps. All the best!
