From: J L Kaul <aicbde...@yahoo.com> Date: Fri, 10 May 2013 18:28:11 +0800 (SGT) Subject: extra time while using scribe Dear friends, Some of the visually impaired bank employees had approached this office stating that IIB&F is not prepared to accept the Guidelines issued by the Department of Disability Affairs in connection with extra time and scribe. Accordingly, our Vice President and Chair of the Advocacy Committee, Dr. Anil K. Aneja took up the issue with IIB&F authorities as well as Chief Commissioner, Disabilities. Both have taken affirmative action. I enclose herewith letter dated 7th May received from IIB&F which meets the requirement of our friends. Kindly inform all those whom you know they can be benefited through this action. With Kind Regards J. L. Kaul Secretary General All India Confederation of the Blind Mob: 9810684208 website: http://www.aicb.in/ INDIAN INSTITUTE OF BANKING & FINANCE (ISO 9001:2008 Certified Organisation) Kohinoor City, Commercial-ll, Tower-I, Kirol Road, Kurla (W), Mumbai - 400 070, INDIA Ref: IIBF/CO/EXM/13 Dr. Anil K Aneja Vice President. All India Confederation of the Blind Braille Bhawan, Sector -5 Rohini, Delhi 110085 Dear Sir, Sub: Inadequate Extra time while using a scribe during the JAIIB/CAIIB Examinations This has reference to your letter AICB/A-4/2013 dated the April 29, 2013 in the captioned matter. The Institute has considered the representation of our visually impaired member candidates to you and decided to provide 20 minutes extra time per hour from current 10 minutes per hour. At present 82 visually impaired members/candidates are taking the examinations from different centres across India. Institute is conducting examination in more than 300 centres all over India and you will appreciate we require time to make arrangements for visually impaired members. If our members feel that 2 months period is too long a time and causing difficulties to make arrangements of scribe, we will consider their request for scribe even if sent to us 1 month before the date of examination. Institute is bringing the above changes to the notice of our respective Zonal Offices and also the Examination Centres. Institute having existence of more than 84 years is equally concerned about hardship and disadvantageous position of our visually impaired member bankers and would assure to do whatever possible to overcome the difficulties faced by them. Yours sincerely, Joint Director (Examinations)
