Hi Amruth,

As per the GATE exam schedule, you can change the category you gave already until 13th November 2020.  So as of now apply in EWS category. If you haven't got the EWS certificate by the time of last date to edit, that is 13th November, then go for general category.

EWS category members can avail many extra benefits during the time of ranking and college admission.

Hope this was helpful.
