Hello student your category in first paper jee main will not change however in second Jee April examination you'll be treated as obc category so if you scored good than Jee main January attempt then you'll be treated as obc category but it your final score will be Jee main January examination then you'll be treated as Genral category student.

Feel free to comment if you have any doubt
Good luck
