If the job for which blind person is applying requires use of computers then the blind candidate should be asked to use the computer to take the competitive examination. For example, if it is bank probationary officer vacancy, the blind candidate can be asked to use the computer for the recruitment exam. Blind person who cannot use the computer efficiently cannot be expected to perform bank officers job properly.
However, the onus lies on the recruitment agency for setting up accessible exam environment including thoroughly tested accessible digital question paper and availability of assistive technologies e.g. screen reader, magnifier etc. demanded by the candidate. Candidates with physical disabilities may demand modified keyboards, mouse, voice dictation etc. In the field of education I think blind candidates should be given all options to take the examination including the scribe. -----Original Message----- From: accessindia@accessindia.org.in <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> On Behalf Of Pranav Lal Sent: Monday, August 15, 2022 8:09 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: RE: [AI] From Charging Lakhs to Offering Proxy Candidates, Is Exam 'Scribe Service' Turning Into 'Business'? I would go for the computer option any day. It gives us control over what we write. -- Disclaimer: 1.
