I submitted my EWS certifi.(issued Jan2021) during JEE MAINS 2021 registration, but in JEE advanced I Gave exam As Gen. clicking that i Have no valid EWS certificate post 1st April,but now In the JOSAA couselling EWS category is Maintained in my profile. Can I submit that certifi. on online report?

I want to give answer about all problem related to EWS certificate. ( This information is for future references)

1.During counselling time ews certificate should be issued on or after 1st april (that year you are giving exam ).If you have ews certificate before dated 1st april,then you should go to the tehsil office and make new one ,if you don't get some good response then try to make contact with authorities of NTA (contact no. Given in official site)or nearest NIT or IIT , and I am sure if you contact with authorities you will find some good response.

2.EWS certificate should only approved if revenue officer not below the rank of tehsildar.During filling registration form you may not find problem but during counselling time they may raise query in your certificate .

..Don't feel panic if you doesn't find your certificate in josaa format ..simply try contact with authorities (during josaa counselling..try contact with the authority of collage you have been alloted during josaa round 1).they definitely trying to resolve your problem and also they may give you time to correct your certificate or information (if necessary)

Your candidature will never be cancelled unless you are doing fraud.

NIT's and IIT's authorities always ready to help ..

Hope this help!

I had faced the same problem ...but hopefully at the end I am in ..( in nit)

Hi

If it's reflecting in your JOSAA profile then it would be better to upload the EWS certificate. But make sure that the EWS certificate is as per the format they have given and the date issued should be on or post 1st April 2021.

They have specifically mentioned it in the JEE advanced website
