Subject:Regarding 20 Grace Marks to Blind Students for
Passing their final UG examinations.
Ref:UGC Letter No.F.10-15/2015(SCT) dated 20.08.2015,
Sir/Madam,
With reference to above subject & referred letter, I am writing
this letter for requesting you to give necessary orders/instructions to
SRTMU,Nanded about giving 20 Grace Marks to Blind Students for passing their
final UG examinations. This flexible facility of giving 20 Grace Marks to Blind
Students for Passing their UG examinations will save a valuable one academic
year of the Blind Students & will get an oppourtunity for their further Higher
Education.
The SRTMU,Nanded is not modifying their examination &
curriculum system under the provisions of u/s 30(f) & 30(g) of the Persons with
Disabilities(Equal Opportunities,Protection of Rights and Full Participation),
Act 1995 by providing some special facilities such as Granting of a
compensatory time of 20 Minutes Per Hour,Special Curriculum,Special question
paper instead of Visual Inputs(Diagrams,Graphs,Maps & Structures) based
questions or exemption from drawing Visual Inputs(Diagrams,Graphs,Maps &
Structures),minimum passing marks criteria reducing from 40% to 35% i.e. 14 out
of 40 & 28 of 80 marks,20 Grace Marks in any one or more subjects/papers for
the benefits of Blind Students along with other disabilities. SRTMU,Nanded is
not giving Grace Marks of 5% of the aggregate marks(5% of 400 marks) or 20
Grace Marks,whichever is less to Blind students for passing their final UG
Examinations under the provisions of u/s 30(f) & 30(g) of the PwD,Act 1995.
This is a violati
on of the provisions of the PwD,Act 1995,which is applicable to whole India
since 1996. The SRTMU,Nanded will be made amendments in their ordinances
simultaneously,but the first priority should be given to saving a valuable
academic year of the Blind Students. The SRTMU,Nanded can made special rules
for the benefits of Blind Students. There is nothing special happens in
SRTMU,Nanded as a special case,while all the Public Universities of Maharashtra
are also exempted from the payment of examination & some other fees.
The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary
Education(MSBSHSE),Pune was made various modifications in their examination &
curriculum system under the provisions of u/s 30(f) & 30(g) of the PwD, Act
1995 by providing various facilities such as giving a compensatory time of 20
Minutes per Hour,Scribe/Reader/Laboratory Assistant,exemption from drawing
Visual Inputs(Diagrams,Graphs & Maps),maximum 20 Grace Marks in any one or more
subjects/papers for passing & developing Special Curriculum for the benefits of
Blind Students after the Bombay High Court order. MSBSHE,Pune gives a maximum
20 Grace marks in any one or more subjects/papers to Blind Students along with
Deaf(HI),Dumb(PI) & Learning Disabilities(LD) Students for passing their SSC &
HSC Examinations since March/April-2009. SRTMU,Nanded is not continuing this
flexible facility of giving 20 Grace Marks for the benefits of Blind Students
despite the Higher Educational problems of the Blind Students are
same as that of Blind Students of Higher Secondary Level.
However,the SRTMU,Nanded & Other Universities of Maharashtra
gives a Grace Marks of 1% of the aggregate marks or 10 Grace Marks to Normal
Students & maximum 20 Grace Marks to Students with Learning Disabilities(LD) in
any one or more subjects/Papers without any conditions after the orders of D/o
Higher & Technical Education,Govt. of Maharashtra. But,the same facility of
Giving 20 Grace Marks to Students with Learning Disabilities(LD) is not awarded
to Blind Students for passing their final UG examinations despite the
reading,writing,learning & other educational problems of the Students with
Learning Disabilities(LD) & Blind Students are almost same. This is an
injustice with the Blind Students comparing to Students with Learning
Disabilities(LD).
Therefore,I am again requested you to give necessary
orders/instructions to SRTMU,Nanded about giving a Grace Marks of 5% of the
aggregate marks or 20 Grace Marks whicheve is less to Blind Students & will
declare the result until 30.09.2015 to save one valuable academic year of the
Blind Students as humanitive & sensitive approach.
I hope you will take positive immediate action in this regard & give necessary
orders/instructions to SRTMU,Nanded about giving a Grace Marks of 5% of the
aggregate marks or 20 Grace Marks whichever is less to Blind Students for
passing their final examinations as a sensitive & humanitive approach.
Thanking You!
Yours Obediently,
