This discussion addresses eligibility for a Resident of Backward Area (RBA) category certificate. The main query concerns whether schooling exclusively in a village school from 8th to 12th grade, with earlier schooling elsewhere, affects eligibility. The RBA certificate is for residents of areas notified by the government under S.R.O. 126, provided they meet specific conditions. It's also noted that an amendment in 2019 (SRO 518) made RBA category residents ineligible for EWS certificates, impacting reservation rules.
