Why the PwD Certificate is Important
In NEET UG counselling, a PwD certificate is essential for candidates seeking admission under the 5% reservation quota earmarked for students with benchmark disabilities, as per the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and NMC norms.
Without this certificate, candidates will not be considered for seats reserved under the PwD category, even if they qualify otherwise.

Certificate Issuance

Eligibility as per NMC Norms
According to the National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines:
- Candidates must have a benchmark disability of 40% or more, as defined under the law.
- Only specific disabilities, including locomotor, visual, hearing, and certain neurological conditions, are considered eligible.
- Each case is assessed individually to determine whether the disability meets the requirements for pursuing the MBBS course safely and effectively.
Impact on Round 2 Counselling

- Deadline Critical: Since the portal closes at 5:00 P.M. on September 5, 2025, candidates must act promptly.
