Yes, you can change your category from General to OBC in the second attempt of JEE Mains, provided you meet the eligibility criteria for OBC (Non-Creamy Layer). You will need to update your category during the application process for the second attempt, ensuring you upload a valid OBC certificate issued by the competent authority. Make sure the certificate is within the validity period and meets the specific requirements set by the JEE authorities. The change is allowed as long as your category status is properly supported.

Hello Sakshi,

Yes, you can change your category from General to OBC in your second attempt of JEE Mains . Here's what you need to do:

1. Update the Category during the Application : When you fill out the application for the second attempt of JEE Mains , you can select the OBC category if you belong to that category.
   
   

2. Provide Valid Proof : Ensure you have a valid OBC certificate (issued within the last 12 months) for the OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) category, as required by the exam authorities.
   
   

3. No Need to Update the First Attempt : The category you selected in the first attempt won’t affect your second attempt, and you can select a different category (OBC) for the second attempt.

Remember to double-check all the details in the application form before submission.
