Hello,

Make your EWS certificate after 1 April 2025 so it matches the financial year 2025–26.
Most states take 7–21 days to issue it.

While filling the JEE Main 2026 form, you should select EWS if you belong to the EWS category.
You only need the actual certificate later during JEE Advanced and JoSAA counselling.

Hope it helps !
