Yes, definitely.

Firstly, the difference between standard general and ews general is the difference in the annual income.

People/candidates belonging to only general category and having an annual income of less than 8 lakhs per year qualify for this reservation.

Keep in mind that they cannot belong to any other reserved category such as OBC, SC, etc.

Now, since ews candidates are from the parent category of General caste itself, there is not going to be much difference in the cut offs. For example, in JEE exam, the cutoff was 85 percentile for General candidates while it was 81 percentile for ews candidates. Keeping the same in mind, the cutoffs for DU also won't have massive difference and the difference should only be around 5-6 percentage points at most, which is an advantage for many.

With regards to Eco and Pol SC., the cutoffs haven't been released yet and only time will tell.

Good luck!
