Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well...!!!

There's no age limit for an EWS certificate. So, you don't need to be 18 years old, you need an EWS certificate in your name for JEE main and EWS reservations anywhere.

To help you further,

EWS eligibility is provided below:-

you shouldn't be covered under the scheme of reservation for OBCs, SCs, and STs

your gross family annual income from all sources i.e. salary, agriculture, business, profession, etc. must be less than 8 lakh rupees

irrespective of the annual family income one won't be eligible for ews reservation if his /her family owns

a) agricultural land of 5 acres and above

b) Residential area of 1000 sq ft. and above

c) Residential plot of 100 sq. yards and above in notified municipalities

d) Residential, the plots of 200 sq. yards or above 200 sq. yards in the areas which are those other than the notified municipalities.

I hope this helps you!

All the best:)
