Hey,
Sorry to say it's not valid and you need to get your reservation certificate updated. The CAT at the time of registration ask about the reservation of the students and thy are even required to submit their category certificate at the time of form submission.
If it's expired I will suggest you to get it updated from your nearest block office as soon as possible in order to avoid any kind of problem in the end or at the time of form filling.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.

How does the scores in CAT matter? Will it matter sectionalwise or overall percentile?
Hello aadish.mehata
I hope you are doing good . I would glad to aware you the about evaluation of cat marks and their involvement in scores . For getting a good percentile , first thing is you have to clear sectional cutt offs in each section . You can get a good percentile or can clear cat without clearing the sectional cut off. However, for getting a call business schools overall percentile only matters. In short they all are interelated
Hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future
Which is better, getting into IIM Indore through Ipmat exam after 12th or Getting into other IIMs through CAT exam ?
Hello,
Well it's totally depends upon that whether you want go for Five years integrated programme or want to go for 2 years PGDM programme after CAT exam.
But through IPMAT you are getting a chance to study in one of the most prestigious Institutions of India, So its not a bad deal. On the other hand CAT exam is very very tough exam, It's possible that you don't receive a call even from the baby IIMs if you fail to clear the sectional Cutoff of IIMs.
Have a look at the placement record after IPMAT-
Highest CTC offered- 50 lacs
Average CTC offered- 22 lacs
Number of Recruiters- 160
Now it's totally on you.
Good Luck.
