UPSC OBC Certificate Proforma Form
OBC individuals from the Non-Creamy Layer are eligible for reservations in jobs and educational institutions.
However, many individuals (and even some officials) are unaware of the OBC reservation requirements.
Benefits of Having UPSC OBC Certificate
Following are the benefits of having UPSC OBC Certificate
- For some tests, such as the UPSC Civil Services Exam, there is a waiver of the maximum age limit.
- When it comes to cut-off markings, there is some wiggle room (only lower cut-off marks are usually needed to clear exams).
- There is a 27% reservation quota for seats in government jobs (such as IAS and IPS) and government institutes (like the IIMs and IITs).
- There is some leeway when it comes to the number of exam tries.
Who is covered by the Non-Creamy Layer OBC?
If your parents are not government employees, their income must fall within the government’s guidelines to be classified as Non-Creamy Layer OBC.
You are most likely classified as Non-Creamy Layer OBC if your parents are not personally selected Class1 (Group A) or Class2 (Group B) officials, or if they do not hold any constitutional positions (such as President, Vice President, Governor, etc.).
Conclusion
You will only be given a reservation in jobs and educational institutions if you are a member of the Non-Creamy Layer OBC.
