Hello Ronish,

If you belong to OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) but currently do not have an updated NCL certificate for the JEE 2025 form, you can still proceed as follows:

1. Select OBC-NCL During Form Filling : Mark your category as OBC-NCL in the JEE 2025 form if that is your eligible category. Even if you don’t have the NCL certificate at the time of form submission, selecting this category initially is allowed.
   
   

2. Obtain the NCL Certificate : Ensure you acquire the OBC-NCL certificate by the time of JEE counseling . Generally, this certificate should be issued within the same financial year as the counseling period, so applying for it as soon as possible is ideal.

3. Documentation During Counseling : The certificate is typically required at the counseling stage for seat allocation under the OBC-NCL category. If you don’t present a valid NCL certificate at that point, you may be treated as a general candidate for admissions.
   
   

4. Contact Authorities if Needed : If you have any specific concerns or delays, you may contact the JEE helpline for guidance.

So, complete the form with your intended category and work on getting your NCL certificate before counseling to ensure eligibility for reserved category benefits.
