Indeed a welcoming step. I've taken my exams using computers till 12th standard barring board exams and I've no doubt the independence that it offers is truly liberating. In college I was forced to make use of scribe due to certain excruciating circumstances otherwise I would have continued using computers as a mode of taking exams. I completed my schooling in 2010 and now it is 2016 and there have been definite improvement in technology.
