Hello Santosh,
No,
category correction
is
not allowed
in the JEE Main correction window. If you selected
General in Session 1
, you
cannot change it to OBC
in Session 2.
What Can You Do?
-
If you have an OBC certificate
but selected General by mistake, contact
NTA Helpdesk
immediately.
-
If correction is not allowed
, you will have to continue under the
General category
for admissions.
-
During JoSAA counseling
, category changes are also
not permitted
, so ensure all details are correct before applying.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
