N T A is a comparatively new establishment and I think nobody has approached it in this regard till date.

Though accessibility should be assured and one need not to remind the authorities for the same, yet these agencies are so complacent and indifferent about disability issues that they forget to include universal accessibility norms in such schemes.

Subject: [AI] Possibilities of attempting the NET exam independently

Hi all,
I intend to write the NET next month, and was wondering if anyone on the list has written it independently, without a scribe? It's an objective-type, computer-based test, and it isn't exactly a leap of logic to think of making it accessible, is what I'm thinking. But when you fill up the form, a scribe is the only disability accommodation offered to blind and visually impaired candidates. I'd like to know if anyone's ever petitioned the NTA to allow blind candidates to write the exam independently.

I wanted to know if there's anything I can do at this point to either enable this for myself next month (very short notice, I acknowledge), or just to push for this in the long term? Because I would really like to. It's unfair to not offer people the choice, and it's particularly unfair on the people who aren't anywhere near proficient at working with a scribe (I'm one of those). Any inputs that folks here could offer would be really helpful.
Looking forward to your responses!

Cheers,

Aparna
