Hello Kanchan, Actually, This extra time facility in mot universal. In D.U., "1/3rd time" as an extra time is being given to the blind students for a long time and "half our" as an extra time is given to general students in very special circumstances such as: if the such general student is unable to write by hand due to having any injury or other problem and specific circular has been issued by D.U in this regard which is applicable only in affiliated colleges with Delhi University.
