You cannot get an Odisha EWS certificate if you belong to SC, ST or OBC (Central List), or to SEBC (State List) for the state admission version. You are also not eligible for an EWS certificate if your family’s gross annual income is ₹8 lakh or more, or the family owns property at or above the limits.

How to check before applying:

  1. Read the Income and Asset Certificate details on e-District Odisha.
  2. Add up the income of yourself, your parents, spouse, and siblings and children below 18, from all sources, for the last financial year.
  3. Check family assets: 5 acres of agricultural land or more, a flat of 1,000 sq. ft. or more, or a residential plot of 100 sq. yards (urban) or 200 sq. yards (other areas) or more means you are not eligible.
  4. Add up land and property held in different places; it is counted together.

Honest figures matter, because a certificate based on false information can be cancelled.
