I had filled jee main April form as a general category student . But now I have ews certificate. Can I change my category after exams. Is there any possibility that I could get benefits of ews certificate

Ans: Once the correction window (if already opened for 2 days) has closed, altering your category becomes challenging. The details provided in your application are typically considered final for the purpose of result processing and rank list preparation. You can still try and call NTA's Contact Number and send a mail along with the proof of your EWS Category Certificate. Chances are less as generally, after the correction window is closed & changing your category during JoSAA counseling is not permitted, especially from an unreserved (General) category to a reserved category (EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST). This is because category-based reservations require prior verification and validation. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Ans: Hello Harshita.
Actually while filling out the form and that too second time, one has to take immense care. Yet, you can change it. But wait for the "Correction Window" opened by NTA. Regularly visit the NTA-JEE web site for announcements.

Sir I had filled my jee mains form with general category, my exams are done and I have my ews certificate with me so how can I change my category from general to ews. Please help

Ans: Arnab, No, you can't change the category on the JEE Main form after the test is over and the window for making changes has ended. What You Can Do is, use the EWS Category when you're counseling with JoSAA or CSAB. When you register for JoSAA or CSAB, you can choose the EWS category as long as you send a valid EWS certificate. Make sure that your certificate was given after April 1, 2024, and that it is still valid according to JoSAA rules. Your JEE Main score or rank will stay the same, but if you chose the right place during counseling, it may be counted toward the EWS reservation. After JEE Advanced, when entry for JoSAA 2025 starts, pick "EWS" as your category. All the best for your admissions!

Resp. Sir, My son had scored 89 %le MHTCET.. Which colleges will be the better option for E&TC branch in Pune

Ans: With an 89 percentile in MHT CET, your son has a good chance of getting into several well-regarded E&TC (Electronics and Telecommunication) engineering colleges in Pune. It is suggested that colleges like Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), MIT World Peace University (MIT WPU), and even potentially the College of Engineering, Pune (COEP), are within reach. It's also worth exploring options like the Army Institute of Technology (AIT) and DY Patil Institute of Technology,Pune.

Hello Sir, My son got 98 percentile in MHT CET, according to previous year cutoff he can get Civil or Production Engineering in VJTI Mumbai, should he take any of the above branch. Is this good for his future. Please suggest.

Ans: Hello dear.
With the mentioned percentile, he may gain admission to CSE or computer-related branches with a compromise on the engineering college. Civil engineering is a more preferable branch over Production from a future point of view. Wait until the SML is declared. The scenario will be clearer after the SML.
Best of luck.
