Hai, I appreciate the effort taken by the students. As the problems faced by the VI have been conspicuous so long, no one was ready to voice for it. Instead, some elite VI’s were busy concentrating on petty or futuristic things: the very few VIs , who let the scribe answer for them; alternative exam patterns, like writing with legs and mouth, data less computers/laptops with costly/less used open source operating system/screanreading software etc. Many had accepted it as a part of our own problems. Ya! Nice effort friends. I would like to suggest, only one thing, try not to make things hard for ourselves. Best Syed
