Hello,

You should have taken care of this while applying for the jee mains January paper.

You can not change your category information once if you have filled as GENERAL as per the guidelines of jee mains.

Good luck.

Hello....
You cannot change your category now.You Will be treated as a general candidate now.For changing the category you could apply for mains as a fresh candidate but by doing this there is a chance of rejection of the application form as per the NTA information bulletin .
Hope it helps you .
Good luck.
