I have critical heart problem where I've had 3 major open heart surgeries in AIIMS since the age of 2 and it's not curable. I have proper documents of every surgery and everything. Am I eligible for disability quota in jee mains and advance?

Hello there,

Yes, you may be eligible for the PwD (Persons with Disability) quota in JEE Mains and Advanced , but it depends on the percentage of disability mentioned in your disability certificate issued by a government-authorized medical board.

Here are the steps to Check Eligibility:

1. Medical Certification – You need a valid disability certificate from a government hospital stating 40% or more disability to qualify for the PwD quota.
   
   
2. Disability Criteria – Heart conditions are not explicitly listed under PwD categories in JEE, but if your condition significantly affects daily functioning, you may qualify.
   
   
3. JEE Guidelines – The final decision will be based on the medical board assessment during JEE verification.
   
   Next steps you should do:

• Get your disability certificate from a government medical board.
• Check if it states 40% or more disability as per the RPwD Act, 2016 .
• If eligible, select the PwD category while filling out the JEE form and upload the required documents.

It’s best to consult a government hospital or JEE helpline for confirmation based on your specific case.
