I do not want to underestimate the potential of visually impaired, nor do I wish to raise eyebrows against anybody pursuing engineering. However, what I fail to understand is how a blind person may be given total exemption in practicals at plus two level in science without a clear cut rule to that effect? And granted, there is such a rule also, how a blind person not doing any practicals and instead answering required data through a viva voce, would be able to undertake engineering studies, and the work thereafter?
I have performed literally all the practicals in my M.Sc. degree in applied psychology taking the scribe for the necessary visual work like noting readings of the inaccessible instruments etc. Time and again, there have been claims on this group about the blind successfully completing various degrees like M.B.B.S., B.E. etc. I sincerely call upon the claimants to explain as to what method they employ for carrying out the necessary practicals and qualify: whether it is: taking scribe for necessary visual work like reading, substituting the required work with viva voce, using residual vision, employing technology, or a combination of all or any of the above.
