UPSC Exams-Reservation Issues-Frequently Asked questions and Free Counselling


Sir, I belong to Agrawal community domiciled in Bihar. I have seen that in the past few Agrawals from Bihar has passed the exam as an OBC candidate. I have appeared also as an OBC candidate in this year's main examination mentioning my caste as BANIA(VAISHYA). I have got the letter from UPSC to mention completely my caste name. I have 20 days to respond. Can you help me what should I fill in the caste column. I will be very grateful. Thanking you in anticipation of prompt reply

What you have mentioned is group of communities. ie Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaisha like that. But there is a Subcaste / Caste under this group. This certificate is issued by the Taluk officer / Tahsildar. So you have to mention that caste. UPSC would like to check whether your caste in the approved list of the Social Justice and Empowerment or not.
