Hello Aspirant,

See the candidates having more than 40% of vision disability are not eligible for admission to medical courses but there is a case in which they can be considered as eligible for NEET UG and admission to medical courses. The condition is that if the disability of vision can be bring down to near benchmark percentage of 40% using advanced low vision aids then the candidate would be eligible for admission to medical courses under PwD category reservation.

So if you can go for such treatments and bring your disability percentage of vision to near 40% then you can apply for NEET UG and also note that there are some other conditions for NEET UG as well which are given below :-

** You must have passed 10+2 from any recognized central/state board.

** English should also be in your curriculum of class 12th and also you should have passed in it.

** You minimum age should be more that or equal to 17 years by December 31st 2022, as per the current eligibility criteria.

** As of now there is no upper age limit for NEET but the case is pending in Hon'ble SC and by 2022 if the verdict comes then the upper age limit may be decided and it can be either 25 or as decided by SC.
