Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Heya,

Yes, you can refill your category again. In the case of the April session JEE Main registration, you have the option to change your category while registering your details only once. You can switch from General to EWS if you have a proper certificate. Just be certain that the EWS certificate is granted before the last date of the April session form and complies with the NTA's requirements of validity.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

You can certainly get admission at DTU (Delhi Technological University) as the minimum requirement there is 60% aggregate in PCM. In such a case, you will be given admission to the top branches of CSE/ECE. Nevertheless, the case is totally different for IIT Hyderabad.

Admission into IITs is through JEE Advanced, and they require either a minimum of 75% in boards or to be in the top 20th percentile of the board for eligibility. But, if you fail to get 75% and happen to not be in the top 20th percentile, you can't get admission at IIT even if you have a good rank in JEE Mains.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello Tanishka,

Although i believe your attempting strategy and sequence depends entirely on your stage of preparation and your personal progress, i would suggest you sit for your January attempt even if you aim to seriously prepare for April.

Whatever stage of syllabus completion you are at, i suggest you give it a try to get an estimate of the exam difficulty and see roughly where you stand among the applicants that year. No matter how many mock tests you attempt, the actual examination environment happens to be very different from mock tests. The first attempt is going to give you an idea of the exam environment so you can prepare for your April attempt better.

All the best for your exams!

Hello Swati

Yes, your EWS certificate will be valid for JEE Main 2026 and counselling if it’s issued after April 1, 2025.
This is because EWS certificates are valid for one financial year from April to March.
So, a certificate made in October 2025 will be for FY 2025–26, which covers both JEE and counselling. You’ll need the certificate number during JEE registration in October 2025.
Even if you don’t have it yet, you can still register and upload it later during counselling. Just make sure the certificate clearly mentions the correct financial year.
Always keep a few extra copies and the original ready for verification.
You're good to go if it’s issued after April 1, 2025
