I recently went ahead to apple for the EWS certificate. However, they said that EWS category has been scrapped in Maharashtra whereas on calling NTA, they said that it is still applicable in Maharashtra as well for NEET UG. Can you please confirm and tell me the correct info?

EWS reservation is an initiative of the Central Government and all States have agreed to implement it in their States including Maharashtra. EWS is a reservation for General Category Candidates whose annual income from all sources is less than 8 lakhs per annum. EWS reservation is there in Maharashtra. The Supreme Court mentioned that Maharashtra has to increase the available seats to accomodate this reservation and that was for PG courses and not for MBBS courses.
