Hello Aspirant!

The EWS category refers to the Economically Weaker Section and is a subcategory consisting of people from the General Category who have an annual income less than 8,00,000 INR. These people don't belong to SC/ST/OBC categories.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare recently issued a statement saying that the EWS reservation will be effective from the session 2019-20 for admissions into dental, medical, pharmacy and nursing institutes.
The qualifying cut-off for EWS candidates is same as the non- EWS UR candidates, ie, 50 percentile.
But seats will be reserved for them.
Only few institutionshave been excluded from this reservation for EWS candidates.

So in a nutshell, yes, EWS candidates do have a little bit of advantage over non-EWS candidates.
