Re: [AI] Making films more disabled friendly: a wish list of legislative reforms

[Harish Kotian]

Hi Rahul

My 2 cents:


1 setting up a cloud based repository, which will capture:script, 
screenplay, subtitles of different languages, text of audio description, 
audio tracks of AD in different languages
2 Scope to cover, live events, TV, cinema, dramas, circus, magic shows, 
musical shows, standup shows

3 content sharing mechanism, Overdrive can be one of the option
4 Involving premier institutions like IFTI, Maybe one of the IIT's for 
technical support
5 Preparing a model international accessible entertainment draft 
legislation which can be consumed internally.

6 Inclusion of accessible entertainment in Mass-com curriculum

RE: [AI] We should demand for the accessible exam

[Ved]

The complaint should be raised with Examining authority for that particular 
examination, organizing body, disability commission and any other relevant 
agencies.

The instructions are clear but sometimes are not followed due to lack of 
awareness.

 

From: accessindia@accessindia.org.in  On Behalf 
Of Kriya Jain
Sent: 20 October 2022 04:40 PM
To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the 
disabled. 
Subject: Re: [AI] We should demand for the accessible exam

 

Hi all, 

Adding my own experience here. 

I wrote the tspsc group 1 last sunday. Following is my experience:

1. The guidelines on their website as well as on the hall ticket, only 
mentioned that scribe will be allowed and 20 minutes extra will be given for 
every one hour. ( That makes 50 minutes for 2 and half hours paper. ) 

2. The center was almost 40 km away from my residence. 

3. We had requested a friend of mine to write the exam and she happily 
accompanied me to the center. But after reaching the center, we were informed 
that they had already arranged the scribe. We obliged without any argument. We 
reassured whether the scribe would be able to read English very well. It was an 
English medium school so it didn't seem a problem. 

4. Assistance was given for biometric and other formalities. 

5. The problem started when we began writing the exam. The scribe was an inter 
student and was slow in reading questions. The paper was too lengthy  with 
lengthy instructions and 5 multiple choices for each questions. As the scribe 
had no practice, she simply kept reading every question rather than cutting off 
to the basics. I tried to answer as quick as possible and kept the mathematical 
questions aside to be answered later. I could answer  total 100 questions out 
of 150.

6. As soon as the time got over, the invigilator rushed to take away the answer 
sheet. I informed her about extra time. She waited for twenty more minutes and 
came and snatched the paper  I tried to reason with her. But she said only 20 
minutes will be given extra. She took the paper and left. 

 

Loss of 30 minutes for me. I am sure I could have answered a few more in this 
time and even more if the scribe was efficient enough in reading the paper. 

 

I am unable to understand why there are no clear guidelines about scribe. Also 
where should I complain about the compensatory time? 

 

Thanks for the long read. 

Regards

Kriya Jain

Hi pinkesh,

She could tried her best to read out question paper but I couldn't
complete even half way because lack of time for each section. Section
would disappear after allotted time is over for the particular
section. I had attended all the section. I could answer only 10 to 12
questionsfromn Maths and reasoning. Scribe had to repeat every
question for me so reading part consumed lot of time.
Can we demand for the accessible exam with extra time but without
compromising with the question paper standard? This way we will get
level playing field. There were 2 more Visually Impaired candidates,
amongst them one has to go back because their scribe declined to help.
There was a one more person who's scribe shutdown their system instead
of helping to  write.
