Yes, it is possible to change your Certificate from OBC to OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) category at the time of JoSAA counseling 2023. However, you will need to have the required documents and follow the prescribed procedure to do so. To change your category, you will need to provide a valid OBC-NCL Certificate issued on or after April 1, 2023. You can obtain this Certificate from a competent authority, such as the Tehsildar, SDM or DM based on your family's income and other relevant criteria. During the JoSAA counseling process, you will be required to submit your Certificate and other relevant documents for verification. If your Certificate is found to be valid and meets the required criteria, your category will be updated to OBC-NCL, and you will be considered for admission accordingly. It is important to note that any changes made to your category or documents during the JoSAA counseling process will be subject to verification and approval by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is important to provide accurate and valid information and documents at all times.

It depends on your priorities and the colleges you have applied for. If you have applied for engineering courses and have got a seat through JoSAA counseling, then you may prefer to take that seat over the one you got through OJEE counseling. However, if you have applied for other courses like management or pharmacy and have secured a seat through OJEE counseling, then you may prefer to take that seat. In any case, it is recommended that you carefully evaluate your options and make an informed decision based on your interests, career goals, and the reputation of the colleges. You should also check the deadlines for acceptance of seats and ensure that you don't miss them. Please upvote if it was helpful.
