Hi Jagan

As per CAT eligibility criteria, PWD (persons with disability) have 3% reservation in IIMs. PWD category covers three areas - Low vision blindness, Hearing impairment and Locomotor disability/cerebral palsy.

As per the provision, the PWD is applicable if the candidate suffers from any of the listed disabilities to the extent of not less than 40 percent, as certified by a medical authority as prescribed and explained in the said PWD Act, 1995 (Section 39).

The reserved category candidates have to score minimum cutoff percentile at CAT 2018 along with the eligibility criteria to get shortlisted for the admission process. You need to have at least 45% marks in graduation in order to apply for CAT exam. Visit the following link to know more about CAT eligibility criteria .

Jagan,Many great people who have given a lot to this world had hearing disability, but that did not stop them from becoming who they are. Similarly, your disability should not stop you from pursuing an MBA programme. Don't listen to what others have to say. Surely, your path to success will be more difficult than others, but it should not stop you from becoming who you were meant to become.So go ahead and do your MBA and take on the world!All the best!
