Hello Aspirant,

Ews means economically weaker section. This is a reservation given to individuals of the general category who do not have any reservations. The eligibility norms include household earnings being less than INR 8 Lakh per year, less than 5 acres of farming area, and residential flat region must be less than 1000 sq. These are the eligibility norms for central government. There are states like Kerala, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu that have different rules for Ews. So, if you have state ews document central govt. might not approve it. But the state in which you have made that document and that state which has approved it has to approve that document. Hence, you are eligible for ews quota in state counselling but not in all India quota. You will be considered as a general candidate for the all-India quota counselling.

Regards.
