Hi

The Information Bulletin: JEE (Main) - 2022 has mentioned that the caste certificate (OBC-NCL/EWS) that has to be uploaded by the student must be issued on or after 1 January 2022. Anything before that will not be considered valid.

Another point to notice here is that if you were not able to collect the said certificate on time, then you are still allowed to write JEE (Main) 2022 if you state that you will upload a fresh certificate issued on or after 1 January 2022 at the time of reporting after seat allotment.

Since you have already uploaded your certificate of issue date 1 Nov 2021 in your application form, then it will be considered as invalid and you will not be provided with any reservation benefits.
