I am an EWS Candidate, I have the Recent EWS Certificate issued after April 2021. but is it necessary to get EWS certificate as per format given on JoSAA website or is it ok with the default format of EWS certificate.
No the format has to be as prescribed by the josaa if you do not provide the apt format they will raise a query and in response you will have to get the certificate in the josaa format of you do not do so you will be treated as a general candidate and will not be given any advantage of the ews category.
