Hi Mayank,

Yes, you can appear for JEE exam in 2026 with OBC category, even if you appeared as a general category candidate in 2025.

Please remember the following points:

1) You must issue your OBC certificate on and after 1st April, 2026. Older certificates are not accepted.

2) When you will fill your application for JEE exam 2026, please select category as "OBC" and you may also refer to upcoming JEE brochure for 2026.

All the best!
