If you did not apply for the EWS category during NEET registration, you generally cannot claim EWS benefits during counseling. The counseling process relies on the category mentioned in the NEET application.

Hello,

Yes, you can apply for an EWS certificate at the time of NEET counseling if you didn't apply during registration, but consider the following:

1. Depends on Counseling Authority – Some states and MCC (for All India Quota) allow submission during counseling, while others require it during registration.
2. Certificate Validity – Ensure your EWS certificate is valid as per the latest government guidelines.
3. State-Specific Rules – Some states strictly require EWS details during NEET registration.
4. Check Official Notices – Verify with the NEET counseling authority (MCC/state) for updated policies.

Hope you find it useful !
