I graduated my class 10 and 12 being a "general" student. I made my caste certificate (SC) after being graduated. Can I give JEE under SC category? or I'd be put under general category??? Please reply.

The eligibility for claiming the SC reservation category in JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) depends on the specific rules and regulations set by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the conducting body for JEE.
There is no official confirmation on whether you can use a recently obtained SC caste certificate for JEE reservation benefits if you didn't have one during your Class 10 and 12 studies. The NTA might have specific guidelines regarding this.
The most reliable way to get clarity is to refer to the official NTA website for JEE or contact them directly. Look for sections related to reservation categories and eligibility criteria. You might find information there or contact details for further inquiries. Try searching online for news articles or discussions related to similar situations with past JEE candidates. While not a definitive answer, it might give you some insights.
If the official guidelines or contacting NTA doesn't provide a clear answer, it's safer to apply under the General category for JEE to avoid any last-minute complications.
