Hi
hope you doing well
Yes, you can change your category from General to EWS for JEE Mains 2024 Session 2, provided the correction window allows it. Here's how you can do it:
Wait for the Correction Window to Open:
- NTA typically provides a correction window before Session 2 registration closes.
- You can modify several details during this period, including your category.
Log in to the JEE Main Portal:
- Visit JEE Main NTA website .
- Use your existing login credentials to access your application.
Make the Category Change:
- In the correction section, change your category from General to EWS.
- Ensure that the change is saved properly.
Upload EWS Certificate (If Required):
- If the portal asks, upload a valid EWS certificate issued by the competent authority.
- Make sure the certificate is in the correct format and is valid for the current financial year.
Pay the Fee (If Applicable):
- There may be a small adjustment fee based on the category change (if required). Ensure payment is completed.
NOTE: Correction Windows are Final, once the correction window closes, no further changes can be made to your category and During JoSAA counseling, you will need to provide the original EWS certificate . If you don’t have it by then, your seat may be treated as General.
hope this will help you
Best Wishes.
