I have got 37000 CRL rank and my EWS rank is 6000, but previous years for 44000 rank a friend of mine got 5000ews rank. why such a thing happened this year? and does it mean I can expect Ews cutoff to go down this year, or EWS is of no use?
Hi,
This may happen due to various reasons like this year more candidates from EWS category appeared in the exam or EWS category students got better ranks as compared to last year. However you shouldn't worry about that. This doesn't mean that cutoff will go low as EWS seats remains constant. However for other reasons,it may go low. This also doesn't mean that your category certificate is of no use. As you might get a good seat in your home state NIT depending on your home state.
Thank you
