Further, if a candidate has sought any other age-relaxation or claimed ESM status
and is not able to produce the relevant certificate, he will be considered in his
respective category i.e., SC/ ST/ OBC/ EWS/ UR. The formats of the certificates

forthwith.
6.5 The crucial date for a claim of SC/ ST/ OBC/ EWS status or any other benefit viz.
fee concession, reservation, age-relaxation, etc., will be the closing date for receipt
of the Online Application Form. The "crucial date" means that the candidate
should belong to the relevant category as on that date; it does not refer to the date
of issue of the certificate.

that he/she possesses the caste/ community certificate and does not fall in the
creamy layer on the crucial date.

which their candidature will be cancelled forthwith. The Domicile/ PRC certificate
must be of the State/ UT indicated by the candidates in their Online Application
