• A. 3%
• B. 5%
• C. 7%
• D. 10%

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 5%

According to the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, educational institutions are required to reserve:

3% seats

for persons with disabilities.

However, as per the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, which replaced the 1995 Act, the reservation has been increased to:

5% seats

for persons with disabilities in educational institutions, including universities and colleges.

So, the correct answer is indeed 5%!
