Good luck!

If your family income is less than 8lakh then you can apply for it.Even some more terms are there regarding family's residency so please follow those instruction.If you are  from this financial background then you can apply in this section.

Best of luck.

Yes, even only a general category student can apply for EWS category as the other categories already have their share of quota. According to the eligibility ctiteria of EWS category,

• The annual income of the family of candidate should not exceed 8lakh per annum.
• The family should not hold 5 or more than 5 acres of land.
• The family shouldn't have a residental area more than 1000 sq feet.

Hope it helps

Thank you.

Hii Atharva,

Irrespective of caste the government of India introduced a new reservation system called as EWS .EWS stands for Economically Weaker Sections.you can also apply fot the JEE maims exam also.The registration for that has been started.

Even though you are from OC,you can still apply for that if the family annual income  is below 8 lakhs.

Thank you.
