Hey there,

For the EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) certificate format required by JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority), the signature needed is typically that of:

Competent Authority:

The EWS certificate should be signed by the competent authority as defined by the government norms. This is usually a government officer of a specified rank.

In many cases, this could be:

• District Magistrate (DM)
• Additional District Magistrate (ADM)
• Tehsildar
• Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM)
• Revenue Officer

Make sure to follow the specific instructions provided by JoSAA for the EWS certificate format and signature requirements.
