Hello Aman,

IITs demand that the PWD candidates should have at least 40% permanent disability, so sorry to say but they can definitely challenge your PWD certificate as you have mentioned that you have a 40% temporary disability. In addition, IITs also have their own medical boards which also conduct tests to determine the disability regarding doubtful cases.

The IIT Delhi court case is an example of one such event.In that particular case,the candidate brought a disability certificate with 40% disability but after conducting tests,the IIT found him to have only 23% disability due to which his admission wasn't possible. The candidate filed a case in the Delhi High court but IIT stated that the candidate didn't have 40% disability and also that the hospital from which the candidate brought the certificate wasn't authorized by the government to be able to do so.
