Hi aspirant,

Yea you can surely appear as a general candidate in JEE 2023. See, two sessions of JEE main examination held in different years have no interrelation between them and no previous records is taken into consideration. So even if you you had appeared for the examination with some different category in the last year that won't affect your current response. In addition to this i f anyone does not want to get the benefits of reserved categories or is not able to produce the required certificates, then they need to fill the form as general candidate only.

Hope it helps!
