You will be surprised. When talking to some of the leading blind schools regarding the use of computers for exam writing, I was told that most blind students preferred using scribes. This tendency I believe goes right up to the Masters level and beyond. When you begin working I wonder who will allow them scribes. Our systems have been flawed right from the early stages of education.

Subject: Re: [AI] [Bulk] Re: Writer guidelines Once it is made compulsory, all visually impaired aspirants will become computer literate. Until late 1990's SSC was conducting only written exams for blind job seekers -- usually LDC's and UDC's. Since 1996 they made typing exam compulsory for all blind clerical and stenographer candidates. Since the year 2004, they migrated to computers. Recruiting agencies for banks should learn from SSC. They don't even demand computer skills from visually impaired bank employees. Otherwise there is no reason why a blind person without basic knowledge of computers and banking can become an PO in bank. By discouraging introduction of computers and Braille in higher exams, -- both technical and nontechnical, we are making mockery of ourself.
