📋 AP/TS లో మీ Caste Central OBC List లో ఉందా? — Check చేయడం ఎలా?

- ncbc.nic.in visit చేయండి
- "OBC List" section open చేయండి

- Caste name search చేయండి
- Central OBC list లో ఉంటే eligible
AP/TS లో BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, BC-E categories ఉన్నాయి. Central government OBC list separate — most AP/TS BC communities Central OBC list లో ఉన్నాయి. కానీ exact confirmation ncbc.nic.in లో verify చేయండి.
Central OBC scholarship apply చేయలేరు. కానీ state BC scholarship (AP EPASS / TS EPASS) apply చేయవచ్చు. BC-A/B/C/D/E అన్నీ state schemes కి eligible. State schemes కి Central OBC list mandatory కాదు.
