I don't subscribe to idea of taking public exams in Braille. It would mark out papers of VI separately, beside requiring valuers to learn Braille. Or they would have to be valued separately by Braille knowing persons, which is not fair. Simple solution of taking scribe by candidate without any undue restrictions is fair enough.

There will be no compromise on Candidate's right to choose his scribe and 2. At this stage we cannot insist that all exams be taken on line-sorry techies you need to be practical about this. We are talking about the country and all exams. Lets look at other issues and dont waste time on the above 2. Maybe we can think of different kinds of exams and their pecularities. Some years ago National Federation of the Blind had won a judgement which stated that the Blind can give the U P S E in braille. I needed to know if anyone has really done it in braille or has anyone even heard of a person who did it in braille. I need to know the experience.
