Hello Candidate.

OCE is known as  "Other eligible communities". If your OCE is  OBC-NCL, you can choose the option for other backward classes with proper verified documents. if not, then choose the general category.

Thank You. Hope this information helps you to apply properly.

firstly, for NEET the main requirements are ur own details.. ur name, ur dob, photo, signature and identity proof.. if ur mother's name is slightly different on ur 10th marksheet and her aadhar card, it usually doesnt create any issue during NEET admission or registration as well.. however if there is a major difference then u should consider getting the aadhar updated to avoid confusion during counselling or document verification
