Hello Akash,

Sorry but a 40% Visual disable candidate won't be able to get PwD Reservation because being 40% visual disable does not put you in blind or visual impairment category. And also 40% visual disability can be corrected with the assistance of eyeglasses so it's out of the option.

All The Best.

The Medical Council of India has issued guidelines for the Person with Disabilities (PwD) to check their eligibility for Medical/ Dental course in India. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will conduct NEET (UG) 2019 on 5 May 2019.

Kindly check the disability percentage and your eligibility to pursue MBBS/ BDS admission 2019.
