Hi

Yes , if you belong to the 3B Jain category in Karnataka  and it is recognised as an OBC ( Other Backward Classes ) category in the Central list . you can apply for the JEE exam under the OBC - NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) category , provided you meet the eligibility criteria for the OBC - NCL status .

Ensure you have the necessary documents , such as the OBC - NCL certificate , issued by an authority to avail of the category benefits .

The NCL status is typically valid for one year from the date of issue and you must ensure that it is current at the time of your application .
