The city of Pune is known as the educational capital of Maharashtra, and boast itself, as the student city. However, it remains to see whether the same infrastructure or opportunity is available to the population with disability further if available, whether it is equivalently accessible across all types of the disability. The aim of this paper is first to estimate the prevalence of disability by its types and second is to examine the representation of the population by types of disability. For our study the population with disability of Pune in the age group 15-19 years from Census, 2011 were considered for our study. The majority of the population with disability who are attending an educational institute belongs to disability type seeing, hearing, speech and any other type of disability. Overall, the percentage of the population attending an educational institute starts showing a decline from age 17 onwards. Nearly half the proportion of the population with disability type mental retardation has never attended any educational institutes. It may be the limitation of conventional education, but at least the focus should be on to bring the population with disability type mental retardation in other types of training.
