Educational Reservations — Revision Notes

⚡ 30-Second Revision

Checked 18 October 2026.
RPwD Act 2016: section 32 ≥5% seats, government/government-aided higher education, benchmark category; +5 years upper-age relaxation.
Section 31: benchmark children six–eighteen.
Reservation ≠ accommodation.

2-Minute Revision

Read the legal scope precisely and separate benchmark entitlements from broader disability protections. A seat is an entry mechanism; accessibility and individual adjustments support participation. Follow the student from application through learning and completion.

5-Minute Revision

Calculate five per cent of two hundred seats and explain why applicant count is not the same denominator. Analyse a student admitted on ordinary merit who needs an accessible examination format. Identify evidence needed to understand unfilled reserved seats.
