Hello,


To get PWD (Persons with Disability) reservation under low vision for studying MBBS, you'll need to meet the following criteria:


1. Visual Impairment: You should have a visual impairment that is certified by a competent medical authority.

2. Percentage of Disability: You should have a minimum of 40% disability due to low vision.

3. Certificate: Obtain a disability certificate from a government hospital or a medical board, specifying the percentage of disability.

4. Low Vision Criteria: Meet the low vision criteria as defined by the Medical Council of India (MCI) or the National Medical Commission (NMC).


The percentage of disability required for PWD reservation under low vision is:


· 40% to 50% disability: Eligible for PWD reservation, but may need assistive devices.

· 51% to 70% disability: Eligible for PWD reservation, with possible exemption from some practical examinations.

· 71% or more disability: Eligible for PWD reservation, with possible exemption from practical examinations and other concessions.


hope this helps,

Thank you
