Hello,

Generally an income certificate isn't required for the JEE Main registration, but if you want to claim the EWS quota, then you need this. You must provide the certificate, issued by a government authority, as proof of your family's income being below the specified limit for the reservation category you wish to apply under.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Yes, as JEE does accepts improvement examination scores, so you must go for it but most of the state boards have already conducted or are conducting their 2025 improvement exams. If you have already given your improvement that's fine. If you have not given improvement this year then you can take your improvement next year.

Thank You.

Hello,

Yes, you can prepare for and take the JEE Main exam after completing your intermediate (12th year) exams. This is a common path for students who want to dedicate a year to intensive preparation without the pressure of simultaneous board exams.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

You can get the JEE 2025 Syllabus from this link : JEE Main Class 12th Syllabus 2026

Hope it helps !

You said you belong to the BC category, converted Christian from a Scheduled Caste background under 16A, and your community certificate is BC. You are giving the JEE exam and want to know which category you should choose and what benefits are there.

If you have a BC certificate, it means you are not eligible for the Scheduled Caste category now because after conversion to Christianity, SC reservation does not apply. So, in JEE or any central exam, you cannot use SC.

JEE and other central exams use the Central Government category list, not the state one. The Central categories are General, General-EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, and ST.

The BC category used by your state is not always the same as OBC-NCL. You need to check if your BC community name appears in the Central OBC list. If it appears there, you can select OBC-NCL. If it is not in the Central OBC list, you must select either General or General-EWS, depending on your family income.

If your family income is below 8 lakh per year, and you do not belong to any reserved category, you can choose General-EWS. If your income is above that, you must select General.

The difference between OBC-NCL and General-EWS is that OBC-NCL students get 27 percent reservation in IITs, NITs, and IIITs, and they also get government scholarships. General-EWS students get 10 percent reservation and can apply for EWS scholarships. General students do not get reservation or category-based scholarships.

So, the steps are simple. Check if your community is listed in the Central OBC list. If it is there, choose OBC-NCL in your JEE form. If it is not there, see if you are eligible for EWS. Otherwise, choose General.

Hello,

You cannot "renew" your September 2025 certificate. You must apply for a completely new EWS certificate after April 1, 2026.

EWS certificates are linked to a specific financial year.

Your certificate issued in September 2025 is valid for the financial year 2025-26. It is based on your family's income from the previous financial year (i.e., 2024-25).

The certificate required for JEE counselling in mid-2026 must be valid for the financial year 2026-27. This certificate must be based on your family's income from the financial year 2025-26 and must be issued on or after April 1, 2026.

Since they are based on two different income periods, they are considered completely different documents.

Hope it's helpful to you.

For JEE Main 2026, NTA has said that students should update their Aadhaar, category certificate, and UDID if applicable before applying. During registration, you will need to upload your 10th marksheet, photo, signature, and ID proof. The registration is expected to start in October or November 2025.

Hi! Don’t worry, you can correct your category this year while filling out the JEE Main 2025 application form. If you belong to BC/OBC category and have the valid caste certificate, you can apply under OBC NCL now. It will not be a problem if last year you had applied as General/EWS, since each year’s application is considered separately.
OBC NCL is for candidates from socially and educationally backward communities (non creamy layer) with income below 8 lakh, while EWS is for students from the general category (not SC/ST/OBC) with family income below 8 lakh. Since your family income is less than 2 lakh and you are BC, applying under OBC NCL is the right choice and will give you reservation benefits.

Hello,

To get below AIR 100 in JEE Advanced 2027, you need a strong and focused plan. Here’s a simple guide:

1. Clear Concepts : Make sure all NCERT basics are strong. Focus on Physics, Chemistry, and Maths concepts deeply.

2. Advanced Practice : Solve previous years’ JEE Advanced papers and high-level questions from books like HC Verma, I.E. Irodov, OP Tandon, and Cengage.

3. Regular Mock Tests : Take full-length tests every week. Analyse mistakes and improve weak areas.

4. Time Management : Learn to solve questions quickly and accurately. Work on speed and accuracy together.

5. Short Notes : Make notes/formulas for quick revision.

6. Consistency : Study daily and avoid long breaks. Consistent practice is key.

7. Focus on Weak Areas : Identify topics you struggle with and spend extra time on them.

8. Stress Management : Stay healthy, sleep well, and avoid last-minute panic.

If you follow a structured plan and stay consistent, AIR below 100 is achievable.

Hope it helps !
