GUYS,
I see a lot of confusion regarding the OBC-NC certificate and wanted to share my view
Friends, its just 3 odd months left for CAT and i think you all should be channelizing your energies on the preparation and not how to get a OBC certificate made easily. I'm saying so because the time you loose can help you master few concepts which might help you getting 98-99+ percentile where you wont even need an OBC certi.
And as far as certificate is concerned, IIM's or for that matter any college gives you ample time to you for getting a new certificate, in case they arnt satisfied. Just see how it goes.
CAT happens in Oct-Nov ----> results in Jan ---> GDPI in feb, march or april ---> Final results in march, april and may.
Even if they ask you get a new OBC certificate in March (during your GD) you have 3 months for that as session starts for mid June in major B-schools. So, getting a new OBC- NC certi shouldn't be a problem. And even then you can't get a certificate made by then, they might give you some buffer time after you join the institute.
SO guys, Focus on Preparation....If you can the opportunity to score a Good percentile why not grab it.
It was just my view and experience , you all are welcomed to contradict it.
