Hello Saaqib, We have 1 percent reservation for persons with visual impairment in all Indian academic institutions. fee consession is broadly dependant on institutional policy. all students with visual impairment under certain income level are given exemption in fees.
Some universities like DU JNU, SPPU, Mumbai university etc have disability support service unit where they can get aditional academic facilities such as assistive technologies, guidance and counsling for occomodation in academic settings. These support service centres also help students with visual impairment to study science and mathematics. However number of students opting such subjects is very less. Do let me know if you would like to study science or maths. I can assist you.
