Nikhil, you should select OBC-NCL as your Category only if your Community is listed in the Central OBC list. Or else you will have to select General Category as your Category. So please do make changes to your Category field during this correction window itself. Now regarding the validity of your January score, if you mentioned your Categiry as OBC-NCL, then it might be a concern because technically you belong to General Category. You will have to reach out to JEE Main help desk for accurate information.

Jan 2020 I appeared as OBC NCL and got 94 percentile so will that be considered for my ranking after changing to GENERAL for April 2020 mains ?

NTA doesnt guarantee any changes in Category. So please reach out to the helpdesk.
