Visual imapairement 40% and above can eligible for mbbs admission

You need to file a writ petition in High Court

RPWD Act 2016 recognizes people with low Vision as disabled and ensures them of protection and equal treatment under the law. “Laws such as RPWD need to be implemented effectively to ensure that their benefits reach the people they are made for.

For person with disability, there is a 3% reservation quota in every examination and job vacancy. To be considered under Visually impaired PWD category one must complete absence of sights or low vision.

Benchmark disability refers to having at least 40% disability of any type recognized under the RPWD Act 2016. The new Act recognizes 21 types of disabilities. So, to be in the category of having benchmark disability, a person has to have at least 40% disability as mentioned on her disability certificate or UDID Card.

If you are satisfying the said conditions you may fight for your rights through a writ that may be filed before High court of Madras.
