Big problem for OBC, SC, ST students due to flaw in shortlisting criteria of JEE Advanced

This year it might be possible that thousands of genuine reserved candidates will lose their chance to sit in JEE Advanced due to false claims made by other candidates and difference between state and central OBC category list.
What is the problem ?
1. There is a difference in castes which are considered as OBC in each of the states and the central. (OBC Reservation in JEE Main for JEE Advanced)
There is difference in castes which are considered as OBC in each of the states in the country and the castes which are considered as OBC by the states and students quite often unknowingly apply to JEE as OBC, but then at the time of counselling the students are rejected a seat as OBC.
Last year, out of 4,800 OBC candidates who qualified for the IITs, 800 withdrew their claims and sought seats in the open (general) category, this year the scenario will be more serious as deserving candidates will not be able to appear for JEE Advanced exam at all and lose opportunity.
2. False claims made by students as belonging to reserved category (SC Reservation, ST Reservation, OBC Reservation in JEE Main for JEE Advanced)
False claim made by candidate it means in fact he/she doesn’t belong to that particular category that was filled by his/her on the application form in form filling stage. It happens every year in IIT counselling, fake candidates having higher rank than other reserved candidates but it was not possible for them to take admission in IITs as they were not able to submit required documents during admission process.
Though this  year also false claim made by some candidates will be filtered out in IIT counselling process, there is a problem to genuine students due to the same as this year due to false claim many genuine candidates will lose their chance to appear for JEE Advanced and finally will lose their seat in IITs.
If 5,000 reserved category students made false claims, they will still be eligible to sit in JEE Advanced.
This will deny an opportunity to 5,000 genuine reserved category students—who could not be in the shortlist because they scored below the 5,000 who made false claims—from taking JEE (Advanced).
IITs want an authentic list of Top1,5 lakh candidates based on JEE Main scores but CBSE has not declared any mechanism to filter false claims made by candidates yet.
