I read somewhere that our EWS certificate should be at least 6 months old to get 10% reservation in Neet-UG. Is it true?

Hello,

Generaly the validity of EWS certificate is for 1 year so if you have made your EWS certificate after December 2020 then you can produce it at the time of NEET 2021 counseling to obtain reservation for EWS category.

>>> Following are the reservation that are given to the candidates of various categories -

• 10% seat reservation for GEN-EWS candidates, (candidates whose family income is less than Rs 8 Lakh per annum)

• 15% seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste(SC) Students.

• 7.5% seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribe (ST) students.

• 27% seats are reserved for OBC-NCL candidates only in colleges run by central government.

• 5% of seats are reserved for Person with Disability PwD. This is a horizontal reservation which means that 5% of all seats reserved for various categories are reserved for candidates with disability from that category.
