Hello student you should mention Genral category if you don't full fill the eligibility criteria for ews eligibility criteria but if you fulfill the eligibility criteria then you should mention ews category because its very beneficial and you should apply for ews certificate. You'll get ews certificate in couple of days by your local administration.
Feel free to comment if you have any doubt
Good luck

Sir can you please guide me about ews form.
Sir,
As if in JEE mains registration form it is not mentioned regarding EWS, but in actual my category is in GEN. EWS & certificate of same is also available then is it possible to be consider for qualifying JEE advance..
