Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you will be included under EWS category. The essential point is that your valid EWS certificate is renewed and available on or before the exam date (in this case, June 2025). Since you upgraded your certificate in March 2025, before the exam, your EWS candidate position will normally be accepted. Whether or not you will be accepted as EWS will be subject to the recruiting body's verification rules regarding document checking.

Yes, you will be considered under the EWS category because what matters is whether you hold a valid and renewed EWS certificate at the time of the examination and counselling or verification stage, not necessarily the date when you filled the form. Since you renewed your certificate in March 2025, before the exam in June 2025, it will generally be accepted. Just make sure to carry the renewed certificate during document verification.
