Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hi,

In your JEE application, you have to write the application number of your c entral caste certificate because for central government admissions like JEE, you have to use details of your central caste certificate. NTA asks for the application number, which is written on the upper side of the central caste certificate.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

Yes, you should select OBC-NCL while filling the JEE MAIN application form, because NTA only recognizes the central government categories that is GEN, GEN-EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, PwD. As VJA is a state specific sub- category it is not separately listed in JEE MAIN forms.

Ensure your OBC-NCL certificate is valid under Central Government list, carry the certificate during counselling/admission for verification.

Hope it helps.

HELLO,

JEE Mains study materials are currently available in only English and Hindi, so if you need the material in Hindi and English, then you can check for it in Careers360. All the materials are available for all subjects for JEE Mains.

Hope it helps!!!

The date of JEE Advanced 2026 is not announced yet.

For your upcoming JEE Advanced 2026 will need to study more harder than you did in your JEE Mains Exam.

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 !
