Dear All, Greetings! There is a good news for those who are appearing in the National Aligibility Test on 30th June 2013. We had received complaints from the candidates that the NET center located in Kirorimal College in DU and examination venues under the same are not honoring the guidelines for the examination of disabled as framed by CCPD and adopted by the union ministries of Social Justice and Empowerment and Human Resource Development. We brought this to the notice of concerned center on 16th June, however, nothing happened. Then we approached CCPD and they have yesterday issued an order. Though I am pasting the text of the same below, these may be downloaded in Microsoft format for reading and vcf format for printing from the following links:
