Yes, you can change your category from General to OBC in the second attempt of JEE Mains, provided you meet the eligibility criteria for OBC (Non-Creamy Layer). You will need to update your category during the application process for the second attempt, ensuring you upload a valid OBC certificate issued by the competent authority. Make sure the certificate is within the validity period and meets the specific requirements set by the JEE authorities. The change is allowed as long as your category status is properly supported.

Hello Sakshi,

Yes, you can change your category from General to OBC in your second attempt of JEE Mains . Here's what you need to do:

  1. Update the Category during the Application : When you fill out the application for the second attempt of JEE Mains , you can select the OBC category if you belong to that category.

  2. Provide Valid Proof : Ensure you have a valid OBC certificate (issued within the last 12 months) for the OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) category, as required by the exam authorities.

  3. No Need to Update the First Attempt : The category you selected in the first attempt won’t affect your second attempt, and you can select a different category (OBC) for the second attempt.

Remember to double-check all the details in the application form before submission.

Yes, you can change your category from General to OBC for your second attempt in JEE Main. However, you will need to update your category information during the application process for the second attempt. Make sure that you have the required OBC certificate, as the category change will only be accepted if the relevant documentation is provided.


It’s best to check the official JEE Main guidelines or contact the authorities if you need clarification on how to make this update

Hello,

Yes, you can change your category from General to OBC (or vice versa) in the second attempt of JEE Main, but it depends on the rules set by the National Testing Agency (NTA) during the correction window.
