Yes, you can change your category from General to EWS in the April attempt of JEE Main 2025. Most importantly, the National Testing Agency (NTA) used to provide a correction window for candidates to make changes to their application form, and that includes changing a category.
You will, however require your EWS certificate ready to be submitted by the time the correction window opens. You'll be required to upload a scan copy of the certificate within the correction process. The dates for JEE Main 2025 application form correction are from 26 November to 27 November 2024.
You can use your EWS certificate to get the reservation benefits for college admissions. Always ensure that the college to which you apply accepts your EWS issued by the competent authority and that you possess all other eligibility as well.
Always refer to the specific eligibility criteria of colleges you target to avoid any potential issue. https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-2025-registration-link-jeemain-nta-nic-in-last-date-fees-form-correction-window-documents-required-today-news
Please note that the acknowledgment/receipt number does not confirm your seat. You will have to produce the original category certificate when you visit the counseling venue for the process of document verification and admission.
In case you do not provide the original certificate at the time of document verification, your application will be considered under the General category.
