Hello student,
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
