Hello there,

In Karnataka NEET counseling, specific reservations for children of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) parents are not explicitly mentioned in the brochure, which can make it challenging to claim benefits under this category. Here's how you can navigate this situation:

Steps to Take:

1. Understand the Available Reservations :
   
   Karnataka NEET counseling primarily provides reservations based on categories like SC, ST, OBC, PWD (for students with disabilities), rural, and Kannada medium students. Since there’s no direct reservation for children of PWD parents, you'll need to rely on general, category-based, or merit-based admission.

2. Check for Central Government Schemes :
   
   Look into any central government schemes or benefits for children of PWD parents, as they might offer some assistance or preference during admissions.
   
   

3. Contact the KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) :
   
   a) Reach out to the KEA or the concerned counseling authorities. You can do this by visiting their official website, calling their helpline, or visiting their office in person.
   
   b) Clarify your situation and inquire if any benefits or considerations can be extended based on your father’s PWD status.
   
   

4. Documentation :
   
   a) If you get any confirmation from the KEA, ensure you have all the necessary documentation, such as your father's PWD certificate, to support your claim.
   
   b) Keep all communication with KEA documented, in case you need to refer to it later.
   
   

5. Apply Through General or Category Quota :
   
   a) Since the children of PWD parents' reservation is not mentioned, proceed with your application under your applicable category (e.g., General, OBC, SC, ST).
   
   b) If you belong to another reserved category, make sure you use that to your advantage during counseling.
   
   Medical Colleges Offering Seats to PWD Candidates:

• While specific colleges for children of PWD parents are not listed, all medical colleges in Karnataka that follow the NEET reservation norms will have seats reserved for PWD candidates.
  
  
• These reservations are specifically for the students themselves who are PWD and not for their parents. Therefore, you would need to compete under your respective category unless otherwise stated by KEA.
  
  Final Advice:
  
  
• It's crucial to stay updated by frequently checking the KEA website or contacting them for any changes or updates in the counseling process.
  
  
• Also, consider seeking legal advice if you feel your rights are being overlooked.
