Hello Aspirant,

State governments have been provided with the permission to alter the suitability standards for EWS reservations.

The EWS certificate based on these above norms will be acceptable only in state-led colleges and state government employment positions for the respective states.

So, if your certificate is issued by Odisha it will be acceptable in Odisha only.

Economically Weaker Section (EWS) in India is a subdomain of the population who belong to the income established Un-Reserved Category and have yearly household earnings of less than 8 lakh and who do not belong to the reserved categories in India.  The other eligibility norms are as follows:-

• The household should not occupy  5 acres of farming land or more.
• The housing flat region must be less than 1000 sq ft.
• The housing location must be less than 100 square yards if it is situated in an authorized municipality locality.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
