Caste Certificate
A caste certificate is an official document confirming that you belong to a Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), or Other Backward Class (OBC) as recognised by the Telangana government. It is required for reservations in jobs, education, and government schemes.
- Students seeking reserved seats or fee waivers in colleges and universities - Job applicants competing for government posts under SC/ST/OBC quota - Families applying for caste-specific welfare schemes - First-time applicants who have never obtained a caste certificate before
