Re: I belong to reddy community(3a). I come under OBC Category in the state of Karnataka. Will I get reservation of OBC in UPSC exams or not?

Hi friend,

Hope that you are in good health and good state of mind.

Friend,there is NO RESERVATION FOR OBC in UPSC exam in terms of SEAT RESERVATION.
According to UPSC,all the categories are equal and hence they do not have this policy of reserving seats for categories such as SC/ST or OBC.

But yes,there is some amount of relaxation that has been provided in the Age Criteria that one needs to fulfill in order to sit in the exam.
According to the Age criteria:

-->A candidate must have attained the age of 21 years and must not have attained the age of 30 years on 1st
August, in the year of examination.

-->The upper age limit prescribed above will be relaxable in the follwing cases:

->Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe: upto a maximum of five years.
->Other Backward Classes: upto a maximum of three years.
->State of Jammu & Kashmir (Domiciled during the period from the 1st January, 1980 to 31st December,
1989): upto a maximum of five years.
->Defence Services personnel : upto a maximum of five years.

So keep working hard and burn your night lamps.
Hard work is the only key to success!

Bye

yes dear you will be considered as OBC in upsc also,
as upsc provides age relaxation of 3 years to the candidates who belongs to OBC category,
so you will also get age relaxation of 3 years.

the age limits for the OBC candidates is 21 to 33 years.

Dear Aspirants,

Please note, one cannot claim reservation under OBC category unless and until the caste to which the candidate belongs is listed in Central List of OBC recommended by National Commission for Backward Class (http://ncbc.nic.in/Centrallistifobc.html)
Refer UPSC FAQ: http://www.upsc.gov.in/general/faq.htm

And in your specific case "Reddy" in Karnataka is listed under 3 A backward class category. However the same is not listed in Central OBC List; "Reddy" is not at all listed. Hence this automatically makes your case ineligible to claim relaxation under UPSC.

All the best....

Re: I belong to reddy community(3a). I come under OBC Category in the state of Karnataka. Will I get reservation of OBC in UPSC exams or not?

dear friend,

you can take the advantages of OBC category only if your category is listed in central list of OBC .
if your category comes under OBC in the state of Karnataka, but not included in central list of OBC then you can't take advantage as OBC category candidate.
for that visit http://www.ncbc.nic.in/Centrallistifobc.html


Good Luck...........

Re: I belong to reddy community(3a). I come under OBC Category in the state of Karnataka. Will I get reservation of OBC in UPSC exams or not?

Hi Aspirant

Yes you will get the reservation why not

If you are in obc category then you will get the benefit of it

As usually given to the obc category candidates

Relaxation given to you in your age and your marks

As the cut off of the obc is quite low as compare to the general category

Well as the normal age limit is 21-30

But you will be given relaxation of 3 years

As the relaxation given to the obc is 3 years

Also the number attempts is given normally 4 to sit in the exam

But you will get 7 chances to sit in the exam

As per your category you will get benefit in job too

Best of luck
