First things first, are you eligible?

• Got a Degree? You'll need a bachelor's degree from a university that's legit.
• Age Matters: Generally, you need to be between 18 and 32 years old, but this can change depending on the specific job. Good news: if you're in a reserved category, you probably get some leeway on the age thing.

Hello,

Yes, you can fill the SSC CGL form if you are in the last semester of your BTech, but your degree must be completed before the final document verification stage.

So, if your final result comes out before that stage, then you are eligible. Just make sure you will have your degree or provisional certificate by the time SSC asks for documents.

Hope it helps !

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.

If you’ve been struggling with SSC CGL exams, consider reassessing your strategy. Focus on improving your weak areas through consistent practice, mock tests, and time management. You can also explore alternative career options in the private sector or other government exams.
