Dear Ms. Neha, It is indeed very sad news that an esteemed organisation like NIIT can behave with a student with disability. However, I would advise you that you should jolt down all the events which have undergone and make a detailed representation to the concerned HOD and mark a coppy to the head of the orgganisation as well as the counceller stating your abilities and that you want an opportunity to show them your abilities and also that how you can cope up with their environment. you should also give them a deadline failing to which I would suggest you legal action against them.
In case you think that the course actually not possible for visually impaired students you can request them to provide reasonable accomodation to you. always feel free to contact for further assistance.
