Two blind HSC students find writers at 11th hour - Times of India MUMBAI: Until hours before the HSC examination began on Tuesday, the parents of two visually impaired students struggled to find them writers for the English paper. While a student from Tardeo found a writer late on Monday, the brother of Naved Shaikh, a student from Boisar, managed to convince someone to write the paper only after they reached the exam centre. Class XII students require a writer who is a year younger to them. Naved’s brother Suhail said: “We had asked everyone in his college and our neighbourhood, but either students were not willing to be a writer or did not meet the criteria. We reached out to people on social media too, but to no avail. We thought he would not be able to write the exam on Tuesday and went to the centre to inform them. There we found some class XI students and one of them volunteered, but only for today.” The family is now looking for a volunteer to write the other papers. The Mumbai division didn’t report any cases of malpractices on Tuesday. Some students at a Borivli centre were asked to remove their footwear, but the centre officials said they had done so on verbal instructions of the board staff and would not follow it from the next exam.
