Hello there,

Yes, you may be eligible for the PwD (Persons with Disability) quota in JEE Mains and Advanced , but it depends on the percentage of disability mentioned in your disability certificate issued by a government-authorized medical board.

Here are the steps to Check Eligibility:

  1. Medical Certification – You need a valid disability certificate from a government hospital stating 40% or more disability to qualify for the PwD quota.

  2. Disability Criteria – Heart conditions are not explicitly listed under PwD categories in JEE, but if your condition significantly affects daily functioning, you may qualify.

  3. JEE Guidelines – The final decision will be based on the medical board assessment during JEE verification.

    Next steps you should do:
  • Get your disability certificate from a government medical board.
  • Check if it states 40% or more disability as per the RPwD Act, 2016 .
  • If eligible, select the PwD category while filling out the JEE form and upload the required documents.

It’s best to consult a government hospital or JEE helpline for confirmation based on your specific case.
