Hello,
I have read the advertisement of South-Eastern Railway I mentioned. And I note
that jobs are specified for certain categories of vision like a1, a2 and so on
up to c2. I found a brief study report on the categories of vision according to
which, as far as I understand, totally blind, even low vision candidates cannot
apply for these jobs. I am pasting below the categories for your reading:

Subject: Job Opportunity in South-eastern Railway and Some explanation Wanted.
Hello,
I was informed of an advertisement for jobs under South-Eastern Railway as a
special drive for recruiting ph candidates in various posts. For details, visit
http://www.ser.indianrailways.gov.in/
The advertisement specifies certain categories of vision, such as A-2, B-1
and so on. I could not find out any explanation for these types of vision
online. Can anyone thow some light on it? Actually, my friends can't apply for
these posts unless they know the category they belong to in respect of vision.
