• SC/ST/OBC-PwD Qualifying Percentile: Reserved category PwD candidates qualify at the 40th percentile (typically 220 to 245 marks out of 800).
• Disability Benchmark Eligibility: Candidates must possess a quantified disability between 40% and 80% to be eligible for reservation benefits in medical courses under Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016.
