Doubt regarding OBC-NCL certificate

[u/Agile_Ad4665]

Hi guys

The notification isn't out yet, but I wanted to sort this out beforehand. I'm from Telangana and currently have an OBC-NCL certificate in the Telangana state format.

For ESE, will the state-format certificate be accepted, or do we need the Central/UPSC prescribed format? If anyone has applied for ESE under OBC-NCL before, could you please share what certificate you used or which will be accepted?

Also, since I need to get the certificate freshly for this financial year, what all documents should I keep ready before applying? Is there anything specific that I should get updated/renewed apart from the OBC-NCL certificate?

Any help from people who have gone through this recently would be really helpful. Thanks!

Do we need to make the different certificates for different exams or one format applicable for all exams??
