Hi

Irrespective of %  your mental illness disability on pwbd certificate, you can't get reservation or benefit of pwd quota as there's no reservation for mental illness, but yes make sure your mental illness is less than 40% on your certificate otherwise you will not be eligible for mbbs .

This is because,

For mental illness


------------------------)  With less than 40% disability with disability, candidate is eligible for mbbs but not for pwd quota


------------------------) With equal to or more than 40% disability , candidate is not eligible for mbbs


------------------------) There's no pwd quota reservation for mental illness disability.
