Hello there,

No, you cannot change your category from General to OBC for the second JEE Mains attempt. NTA allows category changes only during the correction window of the first attempt. Since you already submitted the first form as General, your category will remain the same for both attempts. However, you can use your OBC certificate during JoSAA counseling for reservation benefits.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello there,

No, you cannot change your category from General to OBC for the second attempt of JEE Mains 2025. The category you selected in Session 1 will remain the same for Session 2 and cannot be modified. However, during JoSAA counselling, you can submit your OBC-NCL certificate and claim the OBC reservation if it is valid and issued before the required date.

If you applied for the first JEE Main attempt under the General category but now have an OBC certificate , you may be able to update your category for the second attempt . The NTA guidelines usually allow category modifications during the correction window. Check the official JEE Main portal for updates on category change policies. If the option is available, update your details accordingly. However, ensure your OBC certificate is valid as per central government norms to avoid issues during counseling and admission .

Yes, you can apply under the OBC category for your second JEE Mains attempt if you have obtained a valid OBC-NCL certificate. While filling out the application form for the second attempt, update your category details and upload the required certificate. Ensure that your OBC certificate is issued as per government norms and is valid for the current academic year. If any issues arise, contact NTA for clarification.
