Hello,

Congratulations for your son's score.

As per rules EWS stands for Economically Weaker Section. In India, EWS is a subcategory of people who belong to General Category and have an annual income less than Rs. 8 lakhs and do not belong to any other reserved category such as SC, ST, OBC.

Regarding getting seat in NITs , Yes, there are more probabilities to your son to get an NIT seat. But while option entry in JOSAA, be cautious and check all the cutoffs.

THANK YOU.

All the best to your son's future.
