        I am a PwD candidate appearing for JEE. In the January attempt, I submitted my PwD certificate, but NTA required me to acknowledge it via a form. By the time the hospital signed my certificate, the registration had already closed.

        I emailed NTA about this, but they did not respond. When I called their helpline, they told me to submit it for the April attempt. However, during the second registration, the option to update my PwD status was not available. I contacted them again, and they advised me to add it during the reopening window.

        Now, even in the reopening phase, **the system is still not allowing me to update my PwD status**. When I called NTA again, they told me I would have to appear for the exam as a general candidate.

        This is extremely unfair since I went through all the official procedures to obtain my PwD certificate, and now I am being denied my rightful category due to NTA’s mismanagement.

        # What legal actions can I take in this case?

        * Can I file a grievance or an RTI against NTA?
        * Is there any way to escalate this matter to the Ministry of Education or any relevant authority?
        * Can I approach the court to ensure my PwD status is considered?

        Would really appreciate any advice. This situation is causing me extreme mental stress, and I don’t know what to do next.

          RTI won’t help here. Writ petition only.

                File a writ before Delhi High Court since NTA headquarters are in Delhi.

                I’ve filed writs against NTA and other bodies before Delhi high court and it’s pretty liberal in granting reliefs to students.
