No, you cannot use your OBC certificate valid until February 2025 for the JEE Mains 2026 application and admission process, as the certificate must be issued on or after April 1, 2026, for the exam year. You should apply for a fresh certificate issued after April 1, 2026, and upload it for the application, or, if it's not ready by the counseling stage, use the official declaration form and submit the valid certificate later.
