Hello,
If you have less than 50% marks in graduation, then you are not eligible for CTET Paper 2 under the general category.
However, if you belong to SC/ST/OBC or PwD category, then you may be eligible with 45% marks in graduation along with a B.Ed degree as per NCTE norms.
Hope it helps !

Based on Karnataka’s OBC list and APDSC (Andhra Pradesh DSC) norms , here’s a structured approach:
-
APDSC follows Andhra Pradesh’s OBC list , not Karnataka’s.
-
If applying in Karnataka : Use Karnataka’s OBC certificate (e.g., Category 2A, 3A)
-
For Karnataka-Based Applications
If you’re applying in Karnataka (assuming a typo in "APDSC"):-
OBC Sub-Castes :
-
Category 2A : Balija, Bestha, Gangaputra
-
Category 3A : Uppara, Vishwakarma.
-
Full List : Refer to the Karnataka OBC PDF ( Result 1 (https://www.ncbc.nic.in/Writereaddata/cl/karnataka.pdf) ) for your exact sub-caste.
-
-
OC Option :
-
Avoid OC if you hold a valid Karnataka OBC certificate, as it reduces competition (OBC has reserved seats).
-
If opting for OC : You cannot claim reservation benefits .
-
-
-
Do Not Opt for OC : As an OBC candidate, selecting OC forfeits your reservation eligibility , increasing competition.
- Verify Sub-Caste : Cross-check your caste in Karnataka’s OBC list ( Result 1 (https://www.ncbc.nic.in/Writereaddata/cl/karnataka.pdf) ) and match it exactly in the application.
-
Example
: If your caste is
Balija
(2A in Karnataka), select "Balija" under OBC.
Do not choose OC
.
Final Answer : Do not select OC . Choose your exact OBC sub-caste from Karnataka’s OBC list (e.g., Balija, Uppara) to retain reservation benefits. If applying in Andhra, confirm eligibility first.
As you can see choose whether to take it or not its upto you but you can opt for OBC its the better option.However you can match your resuts from the above links provided and search further for it .always takes what's suitable for future refrences.
Hope it will help you clear your mind.
