If you filled the UGC NET form under EWS but you don’t have a valid EWS certificate, then forget using the EWS category. They won’t accept it. You’ll automatically be treated as General category during document verification.

And no, this won’t make your form “invalid” or “illegal.” It just means you won’t get the EWS benefit.

So yes — you can still go for General category posts and Professor recruitment. Just don’t try to submit a fake/invalid certificate; that will get you disqualified.

Hello,

Once you have applied in the general category doesn't mean the portal autocorrects itself. Mistakes might happen. So kindly check on the portal ugcnet.nta.ac.in (https://ugcnet.nta.ac.in/) whether the correction window is still active to make changes. If it's open, do edit your form by changing your EWS category to general.

This change also comes with the charging of an extra fee because of the category replacement. After this, you can apply for professor jobs without any further discrepancies, only if the correction window is open.

If it's closed, the category cannot be changed after the final handover. Even after the form continues to show EWS, you are expected to show the Valid EWS certificate for the certificate verification. If you fail to submit your form will be considered ineligible.

So the practical solution for this, apply for the EWS certificate as soon as possible; some institutions still accept it if it was issued after the exam date. Just make sure to keep up before document verification and counselling.

Hope this answered your query.
