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.

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.
