Sir, I have a PWD certificate made by Indian Army. Is it valid for Neet application form? Please help sir 🙏🙏

Dear Aman,

I am answering your question on the basis of information bulletin provided on the main website of NEET UG. I request you to download the information bulletin after reading the answer.

You can apply in NEET UG application form under PwD quota but your certificate by Army is not valid for the admission. Don't worry just read. The certificate issued by Indian Army is for you to know whether you can apply for this quota or not. Because after the result is declared then to take part in the online counselling you need to get another certificate from one of the 13 centers which are given in the NEET UG information bulletin. Those are as follows :

1. V ardhman Mahavir Medical College & Safdarjang Hospital, New Delhi
2. All India Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (for Locomotor Disability only) Mumbai
3. Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education & Research Kolkata
4. Madras Medical College Chennai
5. Grant Government Medical College, J.J. Hospital Compound Mumbai, Maharashtra
6. Goa Medical College Goa
7. Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
8. SMS Medical College Jaipur, Rajasthan
9. Govt. Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32 Chandigarh
10. Govt. Medical College, Agartala, State Disability Board Agartala/Tripura
11. Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi/ Uttar Pradesh
12. Ali Yavar Jung National Institute of Speech and Hearing Disabilities, Bandra, Mumbai (for Hearing Disabilities only) Mumbai, Maharashtra
13. AIIMS, Nagpur Nagpur, Maharashtra

So you should go to the nearest centre and can go to their examination department for your PwD certificate. You just need to take a printout from the information bulletin from page number 91 ( appendix VIII a) for the format of the certificate and then you will be examined for your Disability in the centre mentioned above and after your medical examination they will sign on your certificate.

After this you can freely apply to the online counselling without any worry.

This is important to do because if you don't have the certificate issued from one of the centers mentioned above (Disability Assessment Board) then it will be considered ineligible for common online counseling and if that student gets any medical seat then it will be considered entirely fraudulent as mentioned in the information bulletin.

So to summarize, fill your NEET UG form with PwD category if you are sure that you are eligible for the Disability criteria.

Then after results or during the period when the result are about to come go to one of the Centers near you as mentioned above.

Fill the form given in information bulletin and it signed after your Disability examination.

And then you can take part in the common online counselling

Hope this answers your query

Thank you.
