You initially filled the JEE Main form under the General category because you didn't have an EWS certificate at the time.
You now have an EWS certificate and want to know if it's okay to choose the EWS category during JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counseling.
Yes, it's absolutely correct to choose the EWS category during JoSAA counseling if you now have a valid EWS certificate issued on or after April 1, 2024 (as per the latest guidelines). There won't be any issue with this approach.
JoSAA counseling considers your category based on the certificate you possess at the time of counseling. Since you have a valid EWS certificate now, you can avail the benefits of the EWS category during seat allocation.
-
Ensure you have all the necessary documents for EWS category verification during counseling, including:
- The original EWS certificate issued by a competent authority on or after April 1, 2024.
-
A photocopy of the EWS certificate for submission.
-
JoSAA Counseling Portal: During JoSAA counseling, you will be able to select the EWS category when filling out your preferences for colleges and programs.
