EWS category comes under general category only. It doesn't mean any increment in the number of seats. Let's suppose there are 100 seats and 50% are reserved to general category,which means 50 seats for general category. Then 10% reservation for EWS category means 10% in general category, that is 5 seats out of 50 is for EWS category. So, the total number remains the same.
Hope this helped. Good luck
Based upon the 10% reservation which has granted to the General Category Candidate's according to that approximately 3 Lakh seat's have been increased which will be taken into the account from this year onwards.
Thanks
