5 years agoYes, you can appear for the JEE examination, if you have cleared the cutoff and if you have not any category certificate then you need to appear as a general category student. -
Hello Prashant,
If you don't have your community certificate then you will obviously come under general category. So you need to appear for JEE examinations as a general category candidate only.
Maybe you can use the certificate (if you have) at the time of counselling.
