Dont know what to do....

None

I am a student from pd category and i am on wheelchair from the last 10 years . I applied in iit under the same category and am getting 138 marks. I havent applied to any other college because i know that none of the noniit colleges in india have lifts or ramps for guys like me. I have already wasted 1 year of mine after class 12 preparing for the same.But now a friend of mine studying in iit told me that cut off marks for pd category in jee is quite high and last year only 15 students could cross that cut off. He also told me that the cut off marks which iit people decide for pd category is only 5 to 10 marks less than the general category.So experts please advise me what to do ?????

dont worry he must be joking .......cut offs were which were meant to defer studentsweak in anyone subject were scrapped. now the point is there is nothing for any category to clear any cutoff. if there are seats and u get marks higher than anybody else in ur category.then they cant deny u admission. so do not worry and u will surely attain admission

I wish you could be right ankur but the fact is in iit's to fill the seats of reserved category the iit people decide a thrushhold marks which a student must clear and if the seats are left vacant in any catgory then they are automatically transfered to general category. I dont want to discriminate any one but the fact is that people belonging to pd category who truly deserve reservation and are given reservation all over the world are not getting any benefit in india.

See sarveshkala, we are equally ignorant about what will be cutoff marks for this year. And there is no way we can jhelp you to get admission if you can't clear the cutoff. So please wait and watch and hope for the best
