Dear Aspirant
There is no need to be confused. Seats are allotted based on your CRL or say your general category rank.
You will be given a relaxation because of EWS Category in general rank, let's say the cutoff for NIT Silchar CSE is 3k CRL for General Category so for EWS Category it would be around 8-10k CRL for OBC it would be around12-13k CRL, so there is no use of category ranks in the seat allotment process, only CRL is important. I hope you understood the whole process now.
Hope this helps.
