Hey!There
Since you belong to economically backwards section,so choose Gen-EWS quota for filling category option to enjoy the benefit of EWS quota..Also you can choose GEN category but you won't get benefit of EWS..You will get benefit of EWS QUOAT during counseling for IITs or jobs in PSUs...
Ask if any query..
GOOD LUCK!
