Can I change my category Certificate from general to OBC-NCL during CSAB counselling?

There is a possibility to change your category Certificate to OBC-NCL depending upon the category mentioned in your application form and considered by JoSAA. However, you have to submit the original OBC-NCL caste Certificate at the time of document verification. The Central Seat Allocation Board CSAB conducts some special rounds (generally 2 rounds) to fill up the vacant seats of NITs, IIITs, and other colleges after JoSAA completes its process. In the previous year, candidates whose category was changed to general during document verification in JoSAA counseling rounds due to the non-submission of a valid category Certificate were allowed to change categories. The candidates were required to request a change of category via mailing to CSAB before registering for the special rounds and provide a valid category Certificate during the document verification process. If your category was general in your score card and during JOSSA counseling, then it might be slightly difficult to change categories.
