Got admission in IIT via general category

Dear Client,
Caste is determined by birth, and a child gets the caste of the father irrespective of the caste of the mother. There is no provision for changing the Caste of a person regardless of his or her religion. But in certain circumstances - where the mother is divorced or widowed- the child can get the caste of his/her mother. However, on such a conversion of a child's caste, he or she can't claim the reservation or other benefits admissible to the castes, which are admissible only if he or she is born in such a caste. The definition of Family in EWS reservation means the person who seeks the benefit of reservation, his/her parents and siblings below the age of 18 years, as also his/her spouse and children below the age of 18 years. To be eligible for the EWS reservation, you should be a ‘general’ candidate (not covered under reservation for SC, ST, or OBC) and your family’s gross annual income should be below Rs. 8 lakhs. This includes income from all sources such as agriculture, salary, business, etc., for the financial year before you apply for the benefit of reservation. So, given the conditions of eligibility and the definition of family, when your family income including your mother's income exceeds threshold limit of Rs.8 lakhs p.a., you may not be eligible for fee waiver considering your family income.
