which type of EWS cirtificate need for IIT JAM EXAM state or Central?

Hello,

For the IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.) exam, you need to provide a Central EWS (Economically Weaker Section) certificate.

The IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) and other central institutions require a central format of the EWS certificate issued by a competent authority as per the guidelines set by the Government of India. State EWS certificates are generally not accepted unless explicitly specified in the application guidelines.

Make sure that your EWS certificate is up-to-date and issued by the designated authority, such as a Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), Tehsildar, or similar, as prescribed by the central government.
