Hello Aspirant,

For JEE-Main 2022 application form your category certificate should be issued on or after January 1st 2022(only OBC-NCL and EWS certificate, this criteria is not valid for any other category's certificate), so if you only want to apply for JEE-Main 2022 then get your certificate issued now and upload it.

But If you want to appear for JEE-Advance 2022 after qualifying JEE-Main 2022 then don't apply for new reservation certificate right now because as per the information brochure of JEE-Advance 2022 the certificate should be issued on or after April 1st 2022 so if you get it issued now then you would require new one for JEE-Advance as well. So what you can do for now is, for JEE-Main 2022 application there is a self undertaking which you can upload in the JEE-Main application form in lieu of the category certificate which declares that you will submit the original and valid caste certificate later on at the time of admission. And then after April 1st 2022 you can apply for new category certificate and suppose if you do not get it by the time of JEE-Advance examination then in JEE-Advance application form also you can do the same thing because for that also there will be self undertaking so you can use that.

And if you are only aiming for JEE-Main then you can go ahead and get your new caste certificate issued now because JEE-Main 2022 application has started now and will continues till March 31st 2022 or you can upload self undertaking in lieu of caste certificate and then you can submit your new caste certificate at the time of admission.

Don't worry for JEE-Advance 2022 date would not be changed for certificate issuance, it will remain same as mentioned in the information brochure.
