What is OBC-2B (OBC Category 2B)?

Category 2B in Karnataka carries a 5% reservation of state quota seats. This category covers backward communities classified under Group 2B by the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes. Candidates need a Caste Certificate specifying 2B subcategory from the jurisdictional Tahasildar and a Non-Creamy Layer Certificate with RD number (family income below Rs 8 lakh). Because 2B has a smaller allocation than 2A, competition for seats can be higher relative to the number of candidates.
