Hello,

Yes, a person with 40% disability due to OCD and a temporary mental illness certificate valid for 2 years can get reservation in JEE Main and JEE Advanced, if the certificate meets the official requirements.

Eligibility for PwD Reservation in JEE Main & Advanced

As per NTA (JEE Main) and IITs (JEE Advanced) guidelines:

PwD reservation is available for candidates with 40% or more disability.

The disability must be certified by a competent medical authority, as per the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.

Mental illness, including OCD, is recognized under this Act.

Yes, a person having 40% mental illness certified as PWD can get reservation in JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Even if the condition is temporary, as long as the disability certificate is valid and issued by an authorized medical board, the student can claim benefits under the PwD category. The certificate should be uploaded during the application process. This reservation allows relaxed eligibility and seat allotment under the PwD quota. So if all documents are proper, the student will be considered eligible for reservation in both exams.
