Hello,

In HSTES (Haryana State Technical Education Society) counseling, admissions are primarily based on the All India Rank (AIR) from JEE Main, not the EWS rank. However, your EWS category may provide reservation benefits during the seat allocation process. The specific cutoff and availability of seats will depend on the competition and seat matrix. It's advisable to participate in the counseling process and explore all available options.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
