Hello,
You can change the category now:
However, when candidate change the category from general to reserved then fee in not refunded. If a candidate changes the category from reserved to general, then he needs to pay the certain amount. NTA provides the opportunity to make corrections in the category. Candidate can fill JEE Main Correction form. Students can cross check their categories that they have filled in the application form and update them. There are two cases when candidate has to pay the additional fee:
Selection of both paper 1 and Paper 2
Change of category from SC/ST/Girls/PWD to General/OBC NCL. Thanks. -
Hello,
One can't change the category like OBC to SC/ST or so. You can only change your category from general to others or from others to general category. You should try to go through the JEE Mains guidelines or FAQ section to get more details about it or you may contact JEE through email or helpline numbers mentioned in JEE Mains website.
