Dear Arun, OBC NCL and EWS are 2 different reservations. OBC NCL is for those candidates who belong to OBC Category but their anual income from all sources is less than 6 laks per annum. EWS is for those candidates who do not belong to SC/ST/OBC but their annual income from all sources is lesser than 8 lakhs per annum. This is for General Category. If you belong to OBC, you should letyour category be OBC and not change it to EWS.
