Sir, I am from Tripura. I made my state OBC in 4/2024 and central OBC in 6/2024 and with the central OBC I made my OBC ncl in 4/2025 as per the format given by jee adv this year but I can't see anything like catagory certificate number or ID in my NCL. Yes there's a catagory no in central OBC certificate starting with OBCS/XXXX/XXXXX and my central OBC no OBCC/XXXX/XXXXX but there nothing like that in my NCL there something a 4 digit number only written in my NCL under which the date of issuing is written. Now NTA wants OBC ncl number with also after 1/4/2025 what number should I fill? Can you help me by collecting the proper and exact information regarding it , I would be very grateful to you.
Ans: Hi,
Yes, an OBC NCL certificate has a unique ID number, often referred to as the certificate number or serial number.

Where to Find the Number
The format and exact location of this number can vary by state and issuing authority, but it is usually printed prominently on the

Common Locations:
You can typically find the number in the bottom left corner or the top left/right corner of the certificate.

Format:
The number is usually an alphanumeric string that ranges from 8 to 12 characters long, sometimes including letters and other symbols, such as ABC/XYZ/OBC/M-7298/20XX.

Alternative Name:
It may also be referred to as the "Acknowledgement Number" or "Rev. Case Number."

Central vs. State List Entry Number
When completing application forms for admissions or jobs (such as JEE, NEET, etc.), you might be required to provide two different numbers:
1. The certificate number (the unique ID on your specific document).
2. The Entry Number or Serial Number of your caste in the Central List of OBCs.

If you still have doubts, feel free to approach the appropriate officer nearby for assistance.

best regards

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
