SC candidate confused: Which caste certificate for NEET UG 2025?

Ans: Hi,
SC certificate is same in NEET for state as well as central level.

Ans: Hi Payal
SC certificate of central govt will suffice. Don't worry.

Ans: Hi,
You need to produce the certificate according to the specifications provided by the NTA. The NTA requires candidates to be categorized as either creamy layer or non-creamy layer, along with their caste or community certificate. When applying for the community or caste certificate for the NEET exam, it is important to inform the officials of your status. Alternatively, you can visit the e-Seva center in your area, where they will guide you through the process.

For your reference, i have extracted the details from NEET bulletin.
Category: General, General-EWS, SC, ST & OBC-NCL are available in the
drop-down list under the Category option. Caste Certificate uploaded in
the Online Application Form of NEET (UG) – 2025, necessary document

• Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL)- Non-Creamy Layer as per the
Central List of Other Backward Classes available on National
