Hello

Yes! Of course you can go for Admission in NEET, Candidates will be eligible to avail of the quota if the minimum degree of disability is 40% or more. Candidate must hold a "Certificate of Disability" which should be issued in accordance with the rights of the persons with disabilities.

Physically handicapped students can go for Admission under physically handicapped quota. The goverment of India only considers people for PwD reservation who suffer from minimum 40% or more disability.

The eligibility criteria for students Provided for locomotory disability of lower limbs terms of clause 4(3) will be 40% instead of 50% for both taken Admission and for Qualifying the NEET Examination for MBBS course.
