Hi

Officers competent to issue Caste/Tribe certificates for JEE advanced are:

1. District Magistrate / Additional District Magistrate / Collector / Deputy Commissioner / Additional Deputy Commissioner / Deputy Collector / Ist Class

Stipendiary Magistrate / City Magistrate / Sub-Divisional Magistrate / Taluka Magistrate / Executive Magistrate / Extra Assistant Commissioner.

2. Chief Presidency Magistrate / Additional Chief Presidency Magistrate / Presidency Magistrate.

3. Revenue Officers not below the rank of Tehsildar.

4. Sub-divisional Officer of the area where the candidate and/ or his family normally reside(s).

5. Administrator / Secretary to Administrator / Development Officer (Lakshadweep Island).

Certificate issued by any other authority will be rejected.

Since you don't have time to get it signed upload this document now and you can present the signed document by SDO or SDM or any authority listed above at the time of counselling later.

Hope this helps.
