Hello

Yes, you can choose general category for participating in neet counselling even if you fill the form as ews.

This is because

While filling the counselling form, one can choose general as his/her category even if he/she belongs to reserved category i. e ews/ obc/sc/st ( but not the other way i. e general to reserved category) provided he/she meets neet qualifying cut off marks of general category.

But yes,

As , as correction window is open it's better if you correct your category right now only using correction window.

Neet correction window can be used fr 11th August to 14th August.

Here's how you can use correction window:-

*Visit neet.nta.nic.in

* login using your application number and password

* you will see an option by “ click here  for corrections in the neet application form”, click on it

*now you can edit / correct your details.

*After making correction, for future references , take a printout of your correction slip .

To know in detail about correction window you can check out our page for which link is given below:-

When you change your category, from a  category for which application fee is less to a category for which application fee is more  . Then you have to pay the extra amount equal to the difference in the amount of application fee for the two categories.

For example,

While changing the category from ews to general.

Extra amount to be paid

=Application fee for general - Application fee for ews

= 1500 - 1400 = Rs 100.

Now that,

limited time is left for neet 2021 , so you should be focusing on your preparation,

• practising chapterwise questions

• then revising the chapters,

• solve at least previous 10 year neet question papers as concept behind the question often gets repeated in the examination so it will be of great help in your preparation ,
