while filling the application form of jee mains 2021. In category section I choosed EWS general because my fathers anum is around 7 lakh so in last the form was asking to upload ews certificate but i have uploaded form 16. Would nta accept that. And now I have paid the fee of registration.

hello,

If you have read the information brochure carefully, for uploading the cast certificate if you are applicable then you should upload that. Form 16 is not mentioned in the brochure. So accordingly the application of yours should be rejected. So for this case you need to contact the concerned authorities of NTA they give you proper solution.

all the best!!

Hello Aspirant,

See in the information brochure of JEE-Main 2021 there is no any point regarding Form 16 and infact form 16 is just a salary certificate which shows that how much salary you got but it's not the actual proof of income from all the sources so FORM 16 will not be accepted on the place of EWS certificate, so what you can do is either you can fill a new application form or if not done the payment of application fee then you can edit it and upload the correct EWS certificate. Suppose if you don't have your EWS certificate then you can apply under general category for at least first attempt which is of February and apply for it at the earliest and when you will get it in your hand then you can upload it before any further attempt because the facility will be provided before each attempt so later on you can change your category from General to EWS.
