Hello,

Yes, students with epilepsy can avail of the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) reservation in NEET, provided certain conditions are met.

Epilepsy is recognised under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016, as a chronic neurological condition. To qualify for the PwD reservation, candidates must have a disability of at least 40% in a recognised category

Candidates seeking PwD reservation must obtain a disability certificate from a designated medical authority. This certificate is necessary to claim the 5% horizontal reservation in NEET seats.

Therefore, if a student with epilepsy has a disability of 40% or more and possesses a valid disability certificate, they are eligible for the PwD reservation in NEET.

Hope it helps !

HEY THERE!!!

There is no quota in NEET for students with epilepsy for MBBS admission. Epilepsy is not a benchmark disability identified for the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) reservation in NEET. The PwD quota (5% seats) is only for candidates with certain benchmark disabilities as per the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and epilepsy is not one of them.

In short:

Epileptic students are not entitled to any special reservation or quota under NEET for admission to MBBS, except in case of some other qualifying disability under the government PwD guidelines
