Candidates seeking relaxation under the PwD category must submit their PwD Certificate issued by a recognized authority. Physically challenged candidates are encouraged to arrive early to smoothen the admission process.
PwD candidates whose physical limitations hinder them in writing and who require a scribe will be given an additional time of 20 minutes per hour of the examination, regardless of whether they use a scribe or not.
The facility of a scribe will be provided only if the candidate has a certified physical limitation which necessitates another person to write on their behalf.
