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.

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.

(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.
