Hey Shivam,

As we all know this EWS(Economically Weaker Section) category is newly implemented this year along with other categories such as General, OBC(Other Backward Castes), SC/ST(Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes), PWD(Person With Disability) etc, it is difficult to make a prediction of the exact rank to qualify the jee mains paper 1 examination. We can just make an approximation by calculating certain factors associated with it. All those general category candidates whose family income is less than 8 lakh rupees per annum will be eligible for this Economically Weaker Section criteria.

From this year, that is 2019, HRD ministry has announced that it will implement a 10 per cent reservation for the students of general category candidates who can meet the EWS criteria which will, in turn, increase the number of seats for that particular category.

This means that a general category candidate meeting the required criteria of EWS category is entitled to 10 per cent reservation and hence the cut-offs marks will be lower for them in comparision to the other candidates not meeting the EWS criteria. All those cut-offs for various central funded government institutes will be a little lower as compared to the previous years.

I hope I have answered your question. For any other query, feel free to contact anytime.

Thank You.
