Hello Aspirant,

Since you have not mentioned the state from where your caste certificate has been issued so it' quite difficult to guide you with an accurate information. See the conditions for caste certificate are like caste certificate should be valid and authorized by the verified authorities of district level. Now it depends upon state from where the caste certificate has been issued because different states have different validity period for caste certificates like some states have validity of three years, some have four year and even some have validity period of lifetime until the reservation is scrapped so if your caste certificate which you have uploaded in the form of JEE-Main 2021 is valid then there is no problem but if it is not valid then there could be the problem. So please help us out with your state so that we can help you in much better way with proper information. Also note that before confirming that your certificate is valid or not don't submit it in your JEE-Main 2021 application form otherwise you might face difficulties in your admission process instead you can submit the undertaking which declares that you will submit the original and valid caste certificate later on at the time of admission. You can download the undertaking from the official portal of NTA, for which link is also given below :-
