Hi


First of all I would like to clear that, there's no pwd reservation for mental illness in neet, only those who have mental illness less than 40 % are eligible for neet/mbbs. Those having equal to or more than 40 % mental illness are not eligible for neet/mbbs.

So, if you have mental illness, make sure that your pwd certificate mentions that it's less than 40 % otherwise you aren't eligible .

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

Neet information brochure 2021 download link :- https://ntaneet.nic.in/webinfo/File/GetFile?FileId=2&LangId=P

Coming to your question of pwd certificate being valid,

Where have you got your mental illness pwd certificate issued from?

Pwd certificate format must be as per MCI Regulations/format dated May 13, 2019 .

NTA doesn't recognises pwd certificate by any hospital other than those prescribed by NTA under bench mark disability RPWD Act-2016 .

To avail pwd reservation in neet, you must get pwd certificate from any one out of the 13 of the hospitals listed below


---------------------------) Vardhman Mahavir Medical College & Safdarjang Hospital, New Delhi

--------------------------) All India Institute of Physical Medicine and

Rehabilitation (for Locomotor Disability only) Mumbai

--------------------------) Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education & Research, Kolkata

--------------------------) Madras Medical College Chennai

--------------------------) Grant Government Medical College, J.J. Hospital Compound

Mumbai, Maharashtra

--------------------------) Goa Medical College Goa

--------------------------) Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram

--------------------------) SMS Medical College Jaipur, Rajasthan

--------------------------) Govt. Medical College and Hospital, Sector32 Chandigarh

--------------------------) Govt. Medical College, Agartala, State Disability Board Agartala/Tripura

--------------------------) Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU

--------------------------) Ali Yavar Jung National Institute of Speech and Hearing Disabilities, Bandra, Mumbai

(for disabilities of hearing only),  Maharashtra

--------------------------) AIIMS, Nagpur Nagpur, Maharashtra

so your pwd certificate is valid for neet only if it's issued by one of the above mentioned medical institutions.

Now that,

*********** limited time is left for neet 2022 , so you should be focusing on your preparation,

*********** practising chapterwise questions

*********** then revising the chapters,

*********** solve at least previous 10 year neet question papers as concept behind the question often gets repeated in the examination so it will be of great help in your preparation ,

*********** go through neet mock test papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.To help you in your preparation we have neet knockout for you :- https://learn.careers360.com/knockout-neet-
