If you filled the UGC NET form under EWS but you don’t have a valid EWS certificate, then forget using the EWS category. They won’t accept it. You’ll automatically be treated as General category during document verification.

And no, this won’t make your form “invalid” or “illegal.” It just means you won’t get the EWS benefit.

So yes — you can still go for General category posts and Professor recruitment. Just don’t try to submit a fake/invalid certificate; that will get you disqualified.

If you have completed a BSc General from IGNOU with Physics, Botany and Zoology, then your eligibility for MSc Physics mainly depends on whether the university requires Mathematics at the 10+2 or graduation level. Most universities clearly mention that candidates must have studied Physics and Mathematics together during their degree. Even if you have a good understanding of mathematics, institutions consider only your formal academic subjects for eligibility.

Still, there are some private universities and autonomous institutes that allow students without a mathematics background, as long as they clear the entrance exam. Another practical option is to complete a Mathematics bridge course or certificate course from IGNOU or any recognized university. Many institutes accept this as fulfilling the maths requirement. If you want to continue in physics, doing such a bridge course and then applying for MSc Physics, MSc Applied Physics or MSc Electronics would improve your chances. All the best.

Getting into a Bachelor of Pharmacy  course really comes down to the marks you scored in your 12th grade. Most universities in India ask general category students for at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Math. If you’ve got 48%, you’re a bit short of that line, so you can’t get straight into most Bachelor of Pharmacy programs through the regular route.

But that’s not the end of the road. Some universities or private colleges sometimes relax their rules a little. They might have management quota seats or their own admission policies that let students in with slightly lower marks. It’s worth checking those out.

Another option—think about related fields. You could go for a diploma in pharmacy or another allied health course. These usually don’t have such strict percentage requirements, and after finishing a diploma, you can often move on to a full degree later.

Don’t forget entrance exams. Some colleges care more about your entrance test score than your board marks. If you do well in one of those, you might get in even if your 12th grade percentage isn’t high enough.

So, with 48%, you won’t get direct admission into most standard Bachelor of Pharmacy programs as a general student. But if you’re open to alternatives, like diplomas, different colleges, or entrance exams, you’ve still got a shot. Just takes a bit of digging and flexibility.

Yes, with your valid SC community certificate, you can claim reservation benefits in future applications for jobs, education, and other benefits, as long as you declare yourself as an SC applicant and provide the certificate when required.

Hello Sarthak,

Yes, you can update your category during the UPTEC/UPCET (UPTAC) counselling, but only if you have a valid OBC (NCL) certificate of Uttar Pradesh .

• The category you filled in JEE Main does not affect your UPTAC counselling.

• UPTAC uses the category mentioned during counselling , not the JEE form.

• If you belong to OBC (NCL) category in Uttar Pradesh and you have a valid UP-state OBC certificate , then you can choose OBC while registering for UPTAC counselling.

• Your OBC certificate must be issued by UP authorities and must be valid for the current admission year .

So yes, you can select OBC in UPTAC counselling even if you selected General in JEE Main, as long as you have the proper certificate.

If your certificate is not ready, get it issued as soon as possible because you will need to upload it during counselling.

Hope it helps !

Hello

With a JELET rank of 410 in the General category, getting into Chemical Engineering at KGEC is quite difficult because their cutoffs are usually much lower. KGEC is one of the top government colleges, so seats fill quickly with higher-ranked students. You might still get chances in lower-demand branches or in later rounds.

Hello,

It's highly unlikely you will get a clinical seat at AIIMS Mangalagiri with an INI CET All India Rank (AIR) of 19600 in the general category based on previous year's cutoff trends. The closing ranks for most competitive clinical branches in the general category at AIIMS Mangalargi typically close much earlier, often within the first few hundred to a couple of thousand ranks.

I hope it will clear your query!!
