Economically Weaker Section
Economically Weaker Section (EWS) in India is a subcategory of people having an annual family income less than ₹8 lakh (US$8,300) and who do not belong to any category such as SC/ST/OBC(Central list) across India, nor to MBC in Tamil Nadu. A candidate who does not fall under SC/ST/OBC and fulfils the EWS economic criteria is to be part of the EWS category. However, OBCs described in the State list but not in the Central list are also eligible for the EWS.
