Hello,

You should select the General Category during the JEE Mains application process if your community is not listed under the central list of OBCs on the National Commission for Backward Classes website. Since you can't choose "VJA" and reservation benefits are only for those listed on the central list, applying under the general category is the correct procedure.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Yes, you should select OBC-NCL while filling the JEE MAIN application form, because NTA only recognizes the central government categories that is GEN, GEN-EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD. As VJA is a state specific sub- category it is not separately listed in JEE MAIN forms.

Ensure your OBC-NCL certificate is valid under Central Government list, carry the certificate during counselling/admission for verification.
