Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great.  There is a 10% reservation quota for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) among General Category candidates in higher education engineering institutes (like IITs and NITs).  The benefit of reservation under EWS can be availed upon production of an "Income and Asset Certificate" issued by a Competent Authority (an officer not below the Tehsildar in the States/UTs).

• You are not availing the reservation for SCs, STs, and OBCs.
• Your family has a gross annual income below Rs 8 lakh.
• Not having a residential plot of 100 sq. yards and above in notified municipalities.
• Not having 5 acres of agricultural land and above.
• Not having a residential flat of 1000 sq ft. and above.
• Not having a residential plot of 200 sq. yards and above in areas other than the notified municipalities.

ALL THE BEST
