Low vision and Blindness are 2 specific disabilities that are allowed PWD reservation in NEET. The visual disability cannot exceed 40% to be eligible for PWD reservation. And there is no vertical reservation in NEET for PWD. It is a horizontal reservation within your Category. For example, if you belong to OBC Category and then you have PWD reservation, then you can claim OBC-PWD reservation. Low vision is <20/60 to 20/200 and this mounts to 10% of disability. Now again this needs to come from a Certified Opthamologist who can verify the eye sight. This table will give you an idea:

Category

Better eye *

Worse eye *

Percentage impairment

Category 0

20/30-20/60

20/80 to 20/120

20

Category I

20/60-20/120

20/200 to Nil

40

Category II

20/130-20/300 or field of vision 10°-20°

20/400 to Nil

75

Category III

20/400 to 20/1200 or field of vision 10°

20/8000 to Nil

100

Category IV

20/8000 to Nil or field of vision 10°

20/8000 to Nil

100

One-eyed persons

20/20

20/8000 to Nil or field of vision 10°

30

But all the certifications need to come from an Opthamologist.

Greetings aspirant!

According to the guidelines Only 3% seats at an All-India level are reserved for candidates suffering from any physical disability.

Well according to national disability act a minimum of 40% disability is required to avail any benefits for disabled people. If the disability is less than 40% no reservation is applicable.

Hope you find it helpful.
Thankyou!
