Following are the income eligiblity criteria for getting EWS certificate.

•You should be a ‘general’ candidate (not covered under reservation for SC, ST or OBC).

•Your family’s gross annual income should be below Rs. 8 lakhs. This includes income from all sources such as agriculture, salary, business, etc. for the financial year before you apply for the exam.
