That's what we do, balance the western excesses. I said that university arbitrarily decide on the extra time. Delhi university allows 1 3rd extra time (1 hour to be more precise for 3 hour exam). JNU provides 50% extra time for the entrance exams. In the US you can get double of normal time even for a test like GRE. But the standard is 50 % extra. I will try to fish out the UGC circular in the matter. May be you'll need to wait till summers.
