Was it necessary to make correction in category from general to general ews in application form of neet? I belong to Ews category
NEET 2024: Cutoff (OBC, SC, ST & General Category)
NEET 2024 Admission Guidance: Personalised | Study Abroad
NEET 2025: Syllabus | Most Scoring concepts | NEET PYQ's (2015-24)
I would like to inform you that it is very important to fill up you right category in the form so as to ensure that you can get full benefit of your category for reservation.
If you fill general category then you'll be considered unreserved and if eligible for counseling you'll be alloted a seat accordingly.
If you would have filled general EWS, then, if there are states and colleges,where this category gets benefit, you would also have got benefit. But now, if you haven't then you won't be able to avail those benefits.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask any further queries.
All the best.
Hello Rajiv,
If you belong to general ews section and if you've applied as a general candidate instead of general ews then it is not a problem at all.
The only thing which could be proved as a drawback for you is the concession in cutoff for different colleges.
It will be quite higher for general category students than ews students. Other than that, you'll not face any problem if that doesn't matter much to you.
Hope it helped.. :)
