Yes, you can use the same OBC-NCL certificate for both NIT Andhra Pradesh and NIT Karnataka, but only under certain terms. The certificate must be issued by a competent authority after the first of April of the admission year, clearly stating your non-creamy layer status and conforming to the central government OBC format. More importantly, your eligibility for the home state quota depends on the state where you completed your Class Twelve. For instance, if you passed from Andhra Pradesh, you qualify for home state quota only at NIT Andhra Pradesh, and not NIT Karnataka. In that case, you would fall under the other state quota for NIT Karnataka, even if the same OBC certificate is otherwise valid for category purposes
