Hello Priya,
If you have appeared for UPSC exams 3 times under the OBC category but do not have an OBC certificate , it might impact your eligibility for other exams where category-based reservations are provided.
However, for exams like
SSC CGL
and other government exams, if you do not have an
OBC certificate
, you will be considered under the
General category
. Here's what you can do:
1. SSC CGL or any government job exam:
-
General Category
: Without the OBC certificate, you will have to apply as a
General category
candidate, meaning you won't be eligible for OBC-related reservations (age relaxation, seats).
2. For Future Exams:
-
Obtain the OBC certificate
: If you are still eligible for the OBC category in your state, try to get your
OBC certificate
issued. This will help you avail category-based benefits in future exams.
Conclusion:
You can still apply for exams like
SSC CGL
or other government jobs, but you will have to apply under the
General category
due to the lack of an OBC certificate.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Yes, you can apply for the SSC CGL exam if you have passed in graduation after class 12th. For many of the posts of the SSC CGL,along with class 12th from a recognised board,you also need to have graduation degree from a recognised university.
