Hi I am not for liberal correction and grace marking for us. I don't think we are beggars. Let there be uniform corrections. We require only assistance to express our knowledge in written form through a good scribes. Alternativly, we should make the authorities to move towards computer based exam with the help of screen readers. This will also eliminate our dependency on others. I, feel, we all should focus towards making the government to creating the infrastructure for computer based examination format. Regards,
