On Question asked by student community
Hello,
For RRB NTPC Graduation 2025, the notification requires a Central OBC certificate issued after April 2025. Since your certificate is from Dec 2024, it does not meet the specified date criteria.
In this situation:
You cannot use your existing certificate for the application, as the portal will not accept dates before April 2025.
The only option is to apply for a fresh OBC certificate after April 2025 from your relevant authority (Tehsildar / Revenue office) once the new window opens.
Keep all documents ready to avoid delays, as the certificate is mandatory for OBC reservation and eligibility.
Do not enter old certificate details, as it may lead to rejection of your application. You must have a certificate that complies with the RRB NTPC notification.
Hope you understand.
Hello,
Yes, you should get an OBC certificate to apply for the RRB NTPC exam if you belong to the BC community and are a Muslim .
Here’s why:
In central government jobs (like RRB), the OBC category is considered under the Central OBC list .
So, even if your community is listed as BC in your state, you must check whether it is included in the Central OBC list for your state.
If it is included, then you can apply under the OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) category after getting a valid OBC certificate issued as per central government rules.
Hope it helps !
