Category Rules
That Can Cost a Seat
Only caste certificates issued by the Circle Officer, Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil) or Deputy Commissioner of Jharkhand are accepted; any other certificate leads to rejection of the claim. BC-I and BC-II certificates count only if they clearly state that you are not in the creamy layer. If the category in your State form differs from your NEET PG 2026 form, you are treated as Unreserved, except where Central and State caste lists differ and you upload the original caste certificate. Formats are in the Board’s Download section.
