UNIVERSITY OF DELHI

MODALITIES FOR ADMISSION TO VARIOUS UNDER GRADUATE/POST-GRADUATE  COURSES FOR THE  PHYSICALLY  DISABLED CANDIDATES

1. Three percent (3%) seats in all undergraduate and post graduate institutions (including professional and technical institutions) will be reserved for candidates with physical disabilities.

2. Reservation will also be applicable to institutions where admission is through Entrance Examinations

3. Reservation will be implemented college wise in the undergraduate courses and department wise in postgraduate courses as well as in those undergraduate courses where teaching is available only in one Department/College.

4. Candidate seeking admission under reservation shall be required to fulfill other criteria of admission as detailed in eligibility conditions except relaxation of 5% marks in the minimum eligibility conditions. In case of a course where admission is by entrance examination 5% concession shall be granted in the minimum eligibility condition for admission to the test.

5. Candidates with physical disabilities who are able to secure admission in the general category will not be counted in the 3% quota.

6. The 3% reservation may be allocated as follows 1% for persons with low vision or blindness; 1% for hearing impaired; 1% for those with loco motor disabilities and or cerebral palsy.  However if sufficient candidates are not available in a sub-category then candidates from other the sub-categories should be considered in their stead.

7. Candidates with more than one type of reservation.  This reservation shall cut across the existing reservations of SC/ST; children/widows/wives of officers and men armed forces including paramilitary forces killed/disabled in action or those who died/ were disabled on duty, etc. in accordance with the principal of interlocking reservations.  In other words, there will be sub-reservations for physically disabled candidates in each

Reserved category, thus a disabled SC/ST candidate would have preference over an able-bodied SC/ST candidate.

Note: It is clarified that there is no bar to a candidate to seeking admission under the physically handicapped category to seek admission either under the General Category or any other reserved category if the candidate is otherwise eligible and entitled to take the benefit of any other reservation.

8. If sufficient numbers of the candidates are not available under the reserved categories then their seats may be filled with general category candidates.

9. Colleges/Departments are free to exceed the 3% reservation quota if necessary. (Note: ordinarily the number of seats reserved would be 1 for 33; 2 for 67 and 3 for 100 and so on.  However, the colleges may round off the number of reserved seats to next higher level, if the number calculated seats falls more than half way between two levels.

E.g. for 54 seats the number of reserved seats would be 1.62, which may be rounded off to 2 though it may appear to be 4% quota.  In essence, the nature of reservation should be enabling in spirit and the institution not feel prevented from exceeding the 3% quota.

10. The Dean Students Welfare (DSW) will arrange for professional counseling of physically challenged students to enable them to decide about courses keeping in view their aptitude, disability, and future career prospects.

11. All candidates who wish to seek admission to various colleges and in courses where there is no entrance test should register themselves at the Desk for persons with disabilities at the Dean Students welfare (Main Campus), New Examination Hall, and Near University Main Gate. The application form will be available at the Registration desk.

The dates and time for availability for submission of forms will be the same as that for general category students.  The application form should be accompanied by a certificate of physical disability issued by a duly notified Medical Board of a District/Government Hospital set up for examining the physically challenged candidates under the provision of the Persons with Disability (equal opportunities, protection of rights and full participation) Act 1995.  The certificate should indicate the extent of (i.e. percentage) of the physical handicap and it should bear the photograph of the candidate concerned and it should be countersigned by one of the Doctors constitution the Board issuing the certificate.

Note: (a)  In the event of any complaint or doubt either by the University authorities or by the Principal of the College as to the genuineness of the certificate or the extent of the disability of the candidate concerned or in regard to the entitlement of the candidate to

if it is found that the candidate is not eligible or entitled under this category, cancel the admission after issuing a show cause notice to the candidate concerned giving him 15 days time to reply.

Note:(b) The candidate would give a declaration to the effect that information furnished in the application form and the documents annexed to the same and information contained therein are true and correct and that in the event of the same being found to be incorrect in any respect his admission is liable to be cancelled, in addition to any other action that may be taken against him.

12. In courses where, admission is through entrance test, the candidates should fill separate forms prescribed by each Institution/College/ Faculty in duplicate. Both copies should be clearly marked for category of reservation. The Institution/College/ Faculty shall send one copy of the form for registration at the DSW office.  However, if the candidate’s desire, they may submit forms at the office of the DSW which shall arrange to dispatch the forms to colleges/ departments where the candidates wish to seek admission.

13. Colleges would notify the DSW about dates of tests/ interview (where-ever applicable) so these applicants can be informed accordingly. The DSW would notify these dates on the notice board and also post the same on the DU website.

14. In all cases, separate merit lists will be made for disabled candidates under the 3% quota.  However, if the number of applicants for a course/institution exceeds the quota, a priority list of candidates will be prepared taking into account:

(a) Marks obtained in the qualifying examination for admission and (b) Severity of the disability

Note: Marks obtained in the qualifying exams being same, priority will be given to candidate whose disability is more

Severe, e.g., complete loss of vision over partial loss of vision OR loss of a complete limb over loss of a few fingers etc.

15. On request of the Dean Students’ Welfare, the CMO, WUS Health Center would constitute a medical board consisting of (a) medical specialists in the concerned field of disability, (b) rehabilitation experts and (c) nominee of the Dean of Faculty having special knowledge about the proposed discipline of study of candidate. The Medical Board shall examine the candidates to determine the extent of disability on a 10-point scale and recommend the points to be added as weightage to the marks scored in the qualifying examination, for the purpose of admission.  The Medical Board chaired by the CMO would function at the WUS Health Centre, Chhatra Marg,(near Patel Chest Hospital) at the main campus of the Univesity of Delhi and any additional board if required at the WUS Health Centre, South Campus.  The medical boards shall meet within one week of the last date of submission of form/announcement of result of entrance examination as the case may be. The candidates can enquire about the dates of medical examination either at the WUS Health Centre or at the office of the DSW.  This information will also be available on the DU website.

16. The medical board shall send all date on disability points awarded to each candidate to be displayed at the DSW office.  In case of professional, technical and post-graduate courses and where admission is through entrance examination, the recommendation would be sent directly to Faculty/ College with a copy to DSW. 

17. The DSW office would add the disability point to the marks in qualifying examination and allot college/subject based on preference indicated by candidate in the prescribed form.

18. The certificate issued by the Medical Board will be valid for the purpose of admission to any college where a candidate has applied within the prescribed date. 

19. No college shall refuse admission to any disabled candidate who is otherwise eligible, subject to mandatory 3% quota.

20. As far as possible all admissions of physically disabled candidates would be completed by the last date prescribed for the general category candidates.  However, the Dean of the Faculty/ Head of the Department / Principal of college would keep the required number of seats vacant in the college/Department concerned until the recommendations of the medical board are received by them and the merit list of the reserved category finalized thereafter.

21. The Delhi university Disabilities Committee shall strictly monitor the implementation of the provision of the reservation in all constituent or affiliated colleges/ departments/ institutions of the University of Delhi.

22. Grievances regarding admissions under reservation for persons with disabilities should be reported to the Dean Student’s Welfare, who will convene meeting of the Grievance Committee set up for purpose.
