Sir, I belong to the EWS (Sadgope) category in both the central and state lists (West Bengal) and also maintain all the EWS criteria according to the central list. However, the authority confirmed that it is a state certificate. Will my candidature cancel what should I do now?
If your EWS certificate is marked as a state EWS certificate , but you're applying for central government exams or admissions (like JEE, NEET, etc.) , it may not be accepted unless it follows the central EWS format .
Since you belong to the EWS (Sadgope) category listed in both the central and state lists and meet all central EWS criteria , you should immediately:
-
Compare your certificate with the Central EWS format (https://dopt.gov.in/sites/default/files/EWSFormDoPT_0.pdf) .
-
Visit your issuing authority (DM/SDO/Tehsildar) and request a reissue or endorsement in the central format .
If applying for national exams, inform the exam authority (like NTA) via email or grievance portal explaining your valid EWS status.
Without the correct format, your EWS claim may be rejected , and your candidature might be considered under General category or cancelled during verification.
Act quickly to avoid disqualification.
