They are required to produce a Non-Creamy Layer certificate, Community Certificate, or Economically Weaker Sections certificate, as the case may be, issued by the Revenue authority at the time of One Time Verification (OTR).
It is important to note that inclusion of register numbers in this list is purely provisional, subject to scrutiny and admission of application on an absolute basis. Inclusion of register numbers in the Probability List does not confer any right on the candidate for inclusion in the Ranked List.
