For NEET 2025, students who are in the PwBD category (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) must get a disability certificate before applying. This certificate must be from a government medical board that is officially approved under the RPwBD Act 2016. You cannot get this certificate after the NEET exam. It must be ready and uploaded during the NEET application period.

Usually, the NEET application starts in February and ends in the first week of March. So, you need to visit the approved medical hospital before that and complete the disability test. There is no special testing done by the NEET exam body later. Everything related to the certificate should be done in advance.

If your disability is 40% or more, and the certificate is uploaded correctly, you will get reservation benefits and also extra time during the NEET exam.

To find the list of approved medical boards for the certificate, check the official NEET information bulletin when it is released on the NTA website.
