Dear Priti, yes. EWS Reservation is being implemented in NEET UG Admissions from this academic year. MCI has passed a resolution regarding the same. Medical seats in few States also have been increased to acomodate new reservation of 10%. Those candidates who belong to EWS Category and claimed it in the correction window before May 31st, will be given admission under EWS Category, provided they qualify in NEET and secured the required cut offs.
