Hello!
If you have valid documents to prove that you belong to EWS category, you can change your Category to EWS for JEE Mains April application.
EWS reservation is for Candidates who belong to General Category and whose annual income from all sources is less than 8 lakhs. If you fulfil the criteria you can apply under the General EWS category.
The better of the two scores is considered. So , if you get higher marks in the January paper then, that is the one that will be considered.
Hope this helps.
