Hi

You are eligible for neet / mbbs with 20 percent locomotor and 20 % mental illness but not eligible for pwd reservation

This is because,

  • With less than 40% locomotor disability ,candidate is eligible for mbbs but not for pwd quota

  • With less than 40% mental illness/ disability ,candidate is eligible for mbbs but not for pwd quota

  • There's no pwd quota reservation for mental illness

  • For locomotor disability, pwd quota is only when it is between 40 to 80 % .

You can check the same on page no 88 & 89 of neet 2021 information brochure   .
