Hello Aspirant,

See your category in JEE-Main application form can only be changed during correction window and now it cannot be corrected so you will have to proceed with the same category i.e. EWS.

Because correction window for session 1 was already live few days back and now that too has been closed so unfortunately you are quite late and now no correction can be done in JEE-Main 2022 session 1 application form.

Now within few days the application process for session 2 of JEE-Main 2022 would commence.

Now if you have any error in your JEE-Main session 1 application form then you shall proceed with it and if you think that it can cause you a lot in future then you should reach out to NTA regarding your issue.

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to Amrita University B.Tech 2026

However if you are an EWS candidate then it will be beneficial for you as it is a reservation category and cut-offs for you would be quite lower as compared to that of General candidates so I would recommend you to go with it if you have proper supporting documents.


I hope you got the point.

Good Luck!!!
