If my memory serves me right, UGC has, perhaps, been boasting of following such a preferential model. The problem is that Rules of this kind are never publicly pronounced, for they are meant only for internal circulation to the evaluators concerned. Some years ago, the UGC Chairman has revealed in a conference during a question-answer session that UGC indeed ensures that the scripts of the visually-challenged candidates are evaluated without paying too much attention to minor spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. Now that UGC has given up the descriptive questions, I am not sure if UGC even remembers it! Andhra Pradesh Board of Secondary school Certificate has a peculiar system of giving 10 grace marks in each subject, and 15 in the case of Maths, at the time of 10th standard public examination. But this can be a post-evaluation effect as well.

I have never came across of such mandate upon the evaluator or the university officials, even they don't indicate that this answerbook belongs to a visually challanged candidate! Perhaps they don't do so because making any sign or representation which could help in identifying you amongst others students is not permitted. However at school level or in internal examinations if the teacher knows you personally, he can make such relaxations on the basis of equity.
