Hello,

Yes, you need an OBC-NCL certificate if you want to claim the OBC-NCL reservation in JEE Main .

Here are the key points:

• If you want the OBC-NCL quota, you must upload a valid OBC-NCL certificate.

• The certificate should be issued by the government and must follow the latest format.

• It should usually be issued on or after 1 April of the current admission year.

• If you do not have a valid certificate, you will be treated as a General (Unreserved) candidate.

If you apply under General category, then no OBC certificate is needed.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, a valid OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate is required for claiming reservation benefits in JEE Main, and its details must be provided during the application process. While you don't need to upload the certificate with the initial application, you must enter the certificate number, issuing authority, and date. Here in this article you will find more about the JEE Main application.

I hope it will clear your query!

The OBC certificate, as a caste certificate stands as an important and presentable document for the JEE examination counselling, however it is not necessarily needed to be uploaded in the registration itself except the no. And issuance of the certificate is provided. You can get a detailed overview of which documents to upload and which to keep handy for the JEE examination from the link given below

Yes, the OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate is required if you wish to claim reservation benefits under the Other Backward Classes category in JEE Main.

If you are applying for reservation, you must either:

1. Possess the Certificate: Have a valid OBC-NCL certificate issued in the Central Government format.

2. Submit a Declaration: If the certificate isn't ready during registration, you can typically submit a Self-Declaration/Undertaking in the prescribed format. However, you must submit the official certificate later, usually during the counseling or admission process.

Candidates who do not have a valid certificate must register under the General (Unreserved) category. Ensure your documentation adheres to the precise format specified by NTA for the examination: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/documents-required-for-jee-main-registration

Hello

Yes, an OBC certificate is needed for JEE Main only if you want the OBC-NCL reservation. If you don’t upload a valid certificate, the system will simply treat you as a General category student. The certificate should be issued after 1 April 2024 for JEE 2025. If you don’t have it at the time of form filling, you can upload a self-declaration and submit the actual certificate later.
