Hello Dhruv,

Haryana State Technical Education Society (HSTES) treats AIR (All India Rank) for admission purposes for all candidates, including EWS candidates. Category reservations (EWS, SC, OBC, etc.) are used in seat allotment counselling based on the eligibility of the candidate. Therefore, as EWS is considered in the merit list by AIR, your EWS status allows you to get a seat in this category under reservation (if applicable). Make sure you upload your valid EWS certificate during counselling in order to avail of the benefits.

HEY THERE!!!

• As per the official guidelines, HSTES considers the All India Rank (AIR) from JEE Main for EWS admissions, rather than the category rank.
• This policy also applies to TFW and KM categories—admissions are strictly based on the All India Rank.
