I have filled GATE CSE 2025 form under EWS category. So if I qualify GATE exam in EWS category and don't have enough score to clear General category cutoff, then do I need to submit the EWS Certificate to get the stipend ? I'm doing a dual degree course so dont need admission through GATE Score
If you have filled out the GATE 2025 form under the EWS category and qualify for the exam, but your score doesn't meet the General category cutoff, you generally do not need to submit the EWS certificate to get the stipend, as long as you meet the eligibility criteria for the stipend based on your qualification.
Your eligibility for the stipend may still depend on your qualification and performance in the exam. In some cases, if you're qualifying in the exam, you may still be eligible for the stipend, even if you don't meet the General category cutoff.
For reservation benefits (such as admission through GATE in the EWS category), you will need to submit your EWS certificate. However, if you're not seeking admission through GATE (since you're already pursuing a dual degree) and your primary concern is the stipend, you may not need to submit the EWS certificate, unless specified
