Hello Aspirant,

According to the new rule, NITs have to expand 7,256 more seats over two years to include the EWS quota.

Out of 31 NITs, a limited number of establishments executed the quota in undergraduate programs the previous year.

The rest of the institutions have proposed for extension of the deadline.

The petition for an extension has been generated referring to the problem of assuring distancing in hostels and wait inflicted by the lockdown in the construction of the current hostels.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
