Mumbai: In view of a petition by a medical aspirant seeking to be included in the admission process of medical courses under the Person With Disability Quota (PWD), the Bombay High Court has directed a board of medical experts of Goa Medical College to clinically examine the candidate in order to determine whether she is eligible to study medicine under PWD quota.
Previously, the authorities mentioned that the candidates need to approach Disability Centres designated by MCC of DGHS across India to obtain a Disability Certificate after getting their disability assessed at the centre in order to secure the benefit of 5% PwD reservation in medical courses. Candidates can arrange the issuing of Disability Certificates for 21 Benchmark Disabilities given under the Rights of Persons with Disability Act 2016 as per MCI's (now NMC) guidelines.
