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.
