I want to change the general to OBC-NCL in JEE Mains correction window. However, I have mentioned the income as more than 8 lakhs during application filling and it is not allowing now to update the income field. Can I change the category now if I have the valid OBC-NCL certificate.

Hello, you can add the OBC-NCL certificate during the correction window, but the income cannot be changed as the income field remains locked in the correction, and you will be treated as part of the general category due to income norms. However, you can contact the NTA helpdesk to get more information and a resolution for the concerned issue.
