Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), located in Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh, does not need any name. A large number of students in the country want to take admission in this university and study. But only selected students get this opportunity. Let us know which students get reservation in the university.
Talking about session 2025-26, AMU gave 5% reservation to the students taking admission under PwBD i.e. Persons with Benchmark Disabilities category. But this reservation is not applicable equally in every course. The university said that in most of the courses, these 5% seats will be additional to the existing seats, that is, new seats will be increased over the approved intake so that the general category seats are not reduced.
But in some professional courses like MBBS, BDS, BUMS, B.Sc Nursing, B.Arch, postgraduate courses of medical faculty and PhD, this reservation is within the existing seats only. Seats are not increased in these courses, rather 5% share of PwBD is fixed in the available seats.
What documents are required?
To avail the benefit of this category, a candidate must have proof of at least 40% disability. At the same time, it has also been made clear that PwBD candidates will be able to take admission only in those courses where their disability does not create hindrance in studies.
At the same time, if we talk about financial exemption, AMU has given great relief to the students of PwBD category. While normally students have to pay the admission test fee, PwBD candidates have to pay only Rs 100 while applying. Similarly, upon admission, they will have to pay only Rs 100 as tuition fee. However, this relaxation will not be available to those candidates who are on fellowship or take admission in Self-Finance, NRI or Foreign National quota.
This much percentage relaxation in qualification also
These students have also been given a big advantage in qualification. PwBD candidates will get relaxation of up to 5% in the qualifying examination. This means that where 50% marks are required for general students, PwBD candidates will be considered eligible even with 45% marks. The same relaxation will be applicable in the admission test also. Apart from this, wherever the maximum age limit is fixed in the course, age relaxation of up to five years will be given to PwBD candidates. However, this relaxation will not be applicable in those courses where the age limit is fixed by any external council or regulatory body.
What will happen if there is no candidate from PwBD category?
If eligible candidates for PwBD category are not found in a particular course and reservation is applicable within the existing seats in that course, then such vacant seats will be transferred to the general category. However, this rule will not be implemented in PhD programme.
