Yes, you can change your category from General to PwD before NEET counselling, but it depends on the state authority’s guidelines and verification process .

Steps to Change Your Category:

1. Check the State Authority’s Notification – Each state follows different rules for category changes before counselling.

2. Submit Required Documents – You will need a valid PwD certificate issued by an approved medical board.

3. Request Category Change – Some state counselling portals allow category modifications before final seat allotment.

4. Verification Process – Your PwD status must be verified by the authorities before being considered for reservation benefits.

It is highly recommended to contact the respective state NEET counselling authority to confirm the exact procedure.

Hello,

No, you cannot change your category from General to PwD before counseling if the NEET application form has already been submitted and the correction window is closed. Category changes are not permitted during counseling by state authorities. However, you may contact the NTA or state counseling authority for guidance, but typically, category changes are only allowed during the correction window before the exam.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
