| | Author: Rahul 13 May 2009 | Member Level: Bronze | Rating: Points: 5 | Hello Sir,
I am B.Tech. in civil engg. from IIT Roorkee. I have submitted my form for appearing in the Engineering Services Examination. In the form I have mentioned my category as OBC. I had never used the category before and hence wasn't aware of the detailed guidelines. When I was getting my certificate issued (after submitting the form) I found out that I belonged to the creamy layer. Now I have a certificate which points out that I belong to the OBC class but also to the creamy layer.
I am confident of clearing the exams as a general candidate. What should I do??
