Hello Prasad
Yes, OBC validity is required for JEE Mains and JEE Advance 2026 exams.
For them, you will need to produce an OBC-NCL certificate issued on or after 1st April of the admission year (which is 2026 in this case so on or after 1st April 2026).
Without that, you will be treated as a General category candidate.
