Hello,

Here is an overview of your issue:-

1. Correction in JEE Main Application: If the state code of eligibility was incorrectly entered in the JEE Main application form, you typically cannot change it during JoSAA counselling. However, JoSAA will consider the state of eligibility as per the JEE Main data.

2. Impact on Counselling: The state code of eligibility affects the home state quota during seat allocation. If entered incorrectly, you might lose the benefit of your actual home state quota and compete under the incorrect state’s quota, which could affect your chances of getting a preferred seat.

3. Possible Solutions:

- Contact the National Testing Agency (NTA) or JoSAA helpline immediately to explain the issue and seek guidance.

- Provide proof of your actual state of eligibility if requested.

- Avoiding Problems: Submit accurate documents during counselling. Any discrepancies might lead to rejection of the seat allotment or admission later.

Hope it helps !
