Hello there,

For fee remission in NITs under the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category, the key criterion is usually the total family income being below a specified limit, often Rs. 1 lakh per year.

Since your family income is between Rs. 3–4 lakh and most of it comes from your elder brother (who is 27 years old and unmarried), here are some important points to consider:

1. Family Definition : Generally, the family includes parents and their dependents living together. An unmarried elder brother is often considered part of the same family if sharing the same family ID.
   
   

2. Income Consideration : The total family income includes income from all members considered part of the family for the certificate. Since your elder brother’s income is included, the total exceeds the Rs. 1 lakh limit for full fee remission.
   
   

3. Eligibility : Unfortunately, with total family income above Rs. 1 lakh, full 100% fee remission under the EWS scheme is unlikely.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
