hello,

If you want to apply for pwd seats in the counselling then you have to show a government pwd certificate. Yes you need to have a dissability certificate but if you want to apply for pwd seats for that you have to make pwd certificate from the CMO Offfice which assigns authoritites for check up and then approve you for the pwd certificate.

You can visit below link for how to apply for the pwd certificate:

hope this will help you

all the best!!
