IS SEBC AND OBC ARE THE SAME?

SEBC (Socially and Educationally Backward Classes) and OBC (Other Backward Classes) are often used interchangeably in India to refer to groups that are socially and economically disadvantaged. However, the terms can vary based on specific contexts and government classifications. In some states, SEBC is a broader category that includes OBCs, while in others, OBC specifically refers to a subset of SEBCs. Ultimately, the distinction can depend on regional policies and the criteria used for classification.
