Hi.
PAccording to JOSAA Business rules, (page 45)
For candidates whose category document is found to be invalid OR who do not produce a (valid) category document [as per the format given on JoSAA web portal], the category tag will be changed (for the purpose of seat allocation) as stated.
If the documents are found to be invalid for reasons other than willful forgery / act of cheating, then the following rules will be applied in addition to the change of category tag or gender or nationality:
If the OBC-NCL certificate is found to be invalid or not produced AND the candidate satisfies all other requirements AND the seat is allocated in OBC-NCL category, then
(i) Allocated seat will be cancelled.
(ii) The candidate will be considered for seat allocation as a GEN candidate i n the subsequent round(s) of seat allocation (if any), provided all other criteria are satisfied [e.g., present in the respective rank list, etc.].
The rule as stated above in (B) for OBC-NCL will be applied similarly if the GENEWS, DS, SC or ST certificate is found to be invalid or not produced.
Therefore only your current seat will be cancelled but you will be eligible for subsequent rounds as per GEN category.
Good Luck
Hello,
the tension is going to be too tight if you fail to prove that you are a non-creamy layer candidate.Even at the time of counselling,if you fail to provide the document,then they are going to reject your candidature 100%.That is strictly mentioned at the site of JEE Mains.
You can either go for next year's JEE exams.
Hope it helps
