I'm eligible for EWS quota in JEE Advanced but I forgot to change my category to Gen-EWS in JEE Main. Can I put EWS in Advance application?

Hello Uday kiran,

How to Get EWS (Economically Weaker Section) Certificate for IIT JEE Main and JEE Advanced?


From academic year 2019-20, there will be 10% reservation quota for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) among General Category candidates in higher education engineering institutes (like IITs and NITs). Let's see how you can get EWS certificate for JEE Main and JEE Advanced 2019.

The benefit of reservation under EWS can be availed upon production of an "Income and Asset Certificate" issued by a Competent Authority (an officer not below the Tehsildar in the States/UTs).


EWS (Economically Weaker Section) Certificate


Note : Income covered all sources i.e. salary, agriculture, business, profession, etc.


The Income and Asset Certificate issued by any one of the following authorities in the prescribed format shall only be accepted as proof of candidate’s claim as belonging to EWS.


District Magistrate/Additional District Magistrate/ Collector/ Deputy Commissioner/Additional’ Deputy Commissioner/ 1st Class Stipendiary Magistrate/ Sub-Divisional Magistrate/ Taluka Magistrate! Executive Magistrate/ Extra Assistant Commissioner

Chief Presidency Magistrate/Additional Chief Presidency Magistrate/ Presidency Magistrate

Revenue Officer not below the rank of Tehsildar

Sub-Divisional Officer or the area where the candidate and/or his family normally resides.

The Officer who issues the certificate would do the same after carefully verifying all relevant documents following due process as prescribed by the respective State/UT.


Eligibility for EWS (Economically Weaker Section) Quota in IIT-JEE

Whether you are considered as Economically Weak or not, is based on the income and assets of your family. To come under EWS, you will need to satisfy all the criteria listed below.


You are not availing the reservation for SCs, STs, and OBCs.

Your family* has a gross annual income below Rs 8 lakh.

Not having 5 acres of agricultural land and above.

Not having a residential flat of 1000 sq ft. and above.

Not having a residential plot of 100 sq. yards and above in notified municipalities.

Not having a residential, plot of 200 sq. yards and above in areas other than the notified municipalities.

*Family income means Parents and Sibling’s (below the age of 18 years) income only.

No.

It's too late.

The conducting body will not accept it in a mere of hardly few days that your ews category changed.

Otherwise, you can try contacting IIT Roorkee, but unfortunately there is not much chance this year. You will have to wait till next year if you want to make use of your reserved category. Good luck.
