What's the reservation policy for 80 percent visually disabled people..??

In India, individuals with benchmark disabilities, defined as having 40% or more disability, are entitled to certain reservations in education, employment, and other sectors. Specifically, there is a 5% reservation in higher education institutions and a 4% reservation in government jobs for persons with benchmark disabilities.

Hello,

An 80% visually disabled person gets 4% reservation in government jobs under the PwD category and 5% in education (colleges/universities). In competitive exams like UPSC, SSC, and banking, they get relaxation in cut-offs, extra time, and scribes.

Railways and PSUs also provide job reservations. Other benefits include fee concessions, scholarships, and priority in government schemes. Specific policies may vary by state and exam.

Hope it helps !

Hello there,

1. Government Jobs – 4% reservation in all government jobs for PwD candidates, including visually disabled persons.
   
   
2. Educational Institutions – 5% reservation in government and government-aided educational institutions (including IITs, NITs, and medical colleges).
   
   
3. Relaxation in Cutoff – Lower cutoff marks and age relaxation are provided for PwD candidates in most entrance exams like JEE, NEET, and UPSC.
   
   
4. Additional Support – PwD candidates are entitled to special accommodations like scribes, extra exam time, and modified question papers if needed.

To avail of these benefits, you need to provide a valid disability certificate issued by a recognized medical authority.
