I completely disagree, Narendra. Blind lawyers must be prepared through jump through the same hoops as everyone else if they want to be treated on an equal footing. I gave the AIBe last year and had all the reference material in soft copy form on my laptop. My writer also had access to the hard copy version in case of technology failure or an inability to find something in soft copy form, but that was needed only for a couple of answers.
I secured 91 marks. I had to fight tooth and nail with the BCI for many accommodations, but not giving the exam can be no answer, IMO.
