I am from UP, EWS category and my father retired from Indian Army. Should I do my NEET UG state couselling from EWS open category or EWS- Ex-servicemen category? Please guide me as in some colleges the cutoff is higher for ex-servicemen and for some it is very low.

Hello there,hope you are doing well.
If you have the Ex-servicemen quota ,do use it . There are many colleges which have reservation for candidates with an Army background and the cutoffs are also low for this category. There you can use both your EWS and Ex-Army reservation.
On the other hand ,in many other colleges ,there's no reservation for Ex-Army so there you can use only your EWS reservation .
