Hello,

For NEET MDS , here's the clarification regarding your category:

  1. Central List of OBC :  Your caste appears under OBC, but this is based on the central government's classification.

  2. Kerala Government List : In Kerala's list, you fall under the OEC-SC category, which is specific to the state's classification.

  3. NEET MDS Application :

    • Since NEET is a central-level exam, the classification that matters is based on the central government’s policies.
    • If you are applying for the central quota, you should select the OBC category as per the central list, as the state’s OEC-SC classification may not apply for NEET MDS.
    • If applying for state quota in Kerala, refer to Kerala's guidelines, which may accept your OEC-SC status.
  4. Consult Kerala Authorities : It's advisable to confirm with the Kerala State authorities or the NEET MDS helpdesk to ensure accurate selection based on the state and central quota policies.

Hope it helps !

Hello Navin,

For NEET MDS applications, you need to select the category as per the Central Government Reservation List , as this is what governs NEET-based admissions. Since your caste appears under OBC in the Central List, you should select OBC as your category while filling out the application.

The OEC-SC classification by the Kerala government is specific to state-level schemes and admissions, so it doesn’t apply for central-level exams like NEET MDS. Here's what you should do:

  1. Select OBC as your category if your caste is listed in the Central OBC list.

  2. Ensure you have the relevant OBC Non-Creamy Layer Certificate issued by a competent authority to claim the reservation benefits.

If you still have doubts, it’s advisable to:

  • Check the information bulletin for NEET MDS for detailed clarification.
  • Consult with a local authority or helpline for NEET MDS to confirm your choice.

Correct categorization is essential to avoid disqualification or complications during counseling.
