Hello,

Yes, you can apply for JEE Main even if you do not have a caste certificate right now.

You only need the caste certificate if you want to claim a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS).
If you do not have it at the time of filling the form, you can apply as General or General-EWS/OBC-NCL without certificate , and later you can upload the valid certificate during counselling or document verification.

So yes, you can fill the JEE Main form without a caste certificate.

Hope it helps !

Yes, you absolutely can! You must apply under the General (Unreserved) category if you don't have a valid caste certificate ready now. You cannot claim reservation benefits without proof. If you belong to a reserved category, submit a declaration during registration, but ensure you get the official certificate before counselling.

Hi there,

Yes, you can apply for JEE Mains without a caste certificate, but you should apply for the certificate immediately. You are not required to upload the certificate during the application process. If you do not provide the certificate, you will not be able to avail the benefits of the reservation, and you may be considered a general category candidate.

Hope it helps!!!
