Since you have an SC certificate , you are eligible to apply for the SC category in JEE Main and JEE Advanced even though you appeared as a General category candidate in school. The important thing is that your SC certificate is valid and properly uploaded in your application. Here’s how it works:

1. JEE Main & JEE Advanced Category Consideration

• JEE Main and JEE Advanced both allow candidates to apply under the reserved category if they have the necessary certificate (in your case, the SC certificate).

  Recommended

• Your category in school does not affect your eligibility for reservation in JEE as long as the correct category (SC) is mentioned in the application.

2. During Admission (Counseling Process)

• When it comes to admission (for NITs, IITs, or other colleges), your SC certificate will be verified.

• You’ll be considered under SC reservation during counseling if you’ve correctly indicated your SC category and have valid documentation.

3. Important Points to Ensure

• Ensure your SC certificate is valid and meets the requirements outlined by the examination authorities.

• During counseling, keep all documents ready for verification (SC certificate, mark sheets, etc.).

What Will Happen?

• No issues in the admission process as long as your SC certificate is in order.

• You will be eligible for reservation benefits , including lower cutoffs, relaxation in age limit, etc., for SC candidates during the counseling and seat allocation process.

Conclusion:

There should be no issues in your admission if you've correctly applied under the SC category in JEE and have a valid SC certificate. Make sure to follow the counseling process and submit all required documents .

Hello there,

If you are an SC candidate and have an SC certificate, but your school records are under the General category, there shouldn’t be any major issues in your admission process as long as:

1. You correctly filled your SC category during JEE Mains and Advanced : Since you mentioned you wrote SC in both exams, this indicates that you’ve applied under the SC category for reservations.
   
   

2. Your SC Certificate is Valid : As long as your SC certificate is valid and recognized by the respective authorities (issued by a competent authority), it will be accepted during the admission process.
   
   

3. Document Verification : When you go for the document verification process during JEE counseling or at the college, the SC certificate will be cross-verified, and you will be considered for the SC category benefits like reservation, relaxation in cutoff, etc.
   
   Potential Concerns:

• Inconsistent Records : If there is a mismatch between your school records and the category you have applied under, there might be some clarification required. But this is generally not a problem as long as you have an authentic SC certificate and have filled it correctly in the application forms.
  
  

• Clear Documentation : Ensure all your documents (marksheets, SC certificate, etc.) are correctly filled and available to avoid any last-minute issues.
  
  What you can do:

• Ensure consistency : During the counseling process, make sure you clarify your category as SC to avoid any confusion.
  
  

• Verify the certificate : Ensure the SC certificate you have is up to date and issued by the appropriate authority.

Overall, as long as you have the proper SC certificate and followed the correct process, there should be no issues with your admission.
