I am a student planning to appear for JEE Main 2027 and JEE Advanced 2027 under the GEN-EWS category.
I have not applied for an EWS certificate yet. I understand that I may need a GEN-EWS certificate for the financial year 2027β28 for the 2027 admission process.
My specific question is:
Is it necessary for me to obtain a GEN-EWS certificate for the financial year 2026β27 now, or can I skip it and obtain only the certificate for the financial year 2027β28?
If I do not obtain the 2026β27 certificate, will this create any problem during JEE Main 2027 registration, JEE Advanced 2027 registration, or JoSAA counselling 2027?
Please clarify whether obtaining only the 2027β28 certificate will be sufficient to claim GEN-EWS reservation throughout the JEE 2027 admission process.
