It is not the question of getting more marks. The original mail on the topic sought UGC circular for relaxation of five percent for admission to M.A. M.PHIL. etc. as is given in NET. Suppose, minimum qualifying for applying for NET is 55%, then VI are entitled to apply for it even though he has scored fifty percent marks. Same relaxation is sought for minimum qualifying marks for admission to PG courses etc. I believe it is justified, even though I don't know of any circular to that effect. It is different, say, from awarding marks for sports activities, etc. Actually, qualifying standards may be relaxed for disabled aspirants for rare goods of life, like higher education, scholarships, etc. so that they may take advantage of them and move towards meeting standards of public at large. Our constitution mentions compromising with efficiency for accommodating claims of scheduled castes and tribes. It is meant to make good a social disability arising out of past discrimination. So, heaven is not going to fall if persons with disabilities are given the benefit of goodies of life by slightly relaxing qualifying standards. If I accept the logic of too many concessions, then: why reservations in jobs? Why land at preferential rates? Why concessions in public transport? Why the demand for subsidy on assistive technology? Why concession in income tax? Why after all, an unrelated person should be expected to lead us by hand, or even show the way sometimes? Too many concessions? Is deprivation of a sense completely or partially such a light occurrence that society should begrudge us a few benefits of life out of public resources, at least? Yes, we should live like a able-bodied person, but remember, we are not able-bodied, and even if we are grandiose enough to think we are sometimes, no uninterested observer is going to accede to our view. Subjective reality may be anything, however, objective reality is that if a person is blind, he is blind, come what may.

Of course, I do agree with the reasoning -- that people who use scribes do lose marks (don't worry, I have lost the whole exam), that other category candidates do get extra marks and it doesn't make a difference in the knowledge levels. But my question is, if you were to mention mark concession to someone, don't you think there is a possibility that we (as a community) will be facing the accusation that we ask for too many cconcessions? When people don't consider giving us the chance to write exams using computers, which, in my opinion, is a pretty basic thing, then where is the question of giving more marks, especially if it means you are going to gain advantage over someone else. In my opinion, this doesn't rank amongst the most necessary of concessions which must be attained at any cost to gain parity with others.

Hi Rajesh, Agreed. I actually meant there should no such rule. Sorry about confusion. Also, will agree with you on your other email that such relaxation should be provided to people who suffer from severe disabilities or may be someone like who is pretty slow learner. -----Original Message----- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Asudani, Rajesh Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 10:23 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] UGC circular for 5% mark's relaxation? Well, please don't say that "I don't think such rules should get implemented". Either there should be no such rule, or if it is there, it has to be implemented. Please take clear stand, because saying that such rules should not be implemented, and such rules should be implemented, goes against the spirit of rule of law. If law is there, it is for implementation, otherwise, do dispense with it. We can oppose the rule or law itself, but we cannot say that even if is on the statute book but it should not be implemented.

Hi all, @ Satguru, Sorry, I don't have answer to your question. Secondly, should we encourage such circulars? While we are demanding for inclusive world in one hand, why should we expect such relaxations rather than competing with regular world? I personal, don't think such rules should get implemented.

Hi all, Greetings! I am looking for UGC circular which talks about 5% relaxation in marks while taking admission in M.A or other cources. Please note that the UGC document which respected Devnandan sir had sent to us does not contain that circular. It only contains circular for relaxation of 5% marks in NET exams. I also did a search on the UGC website but invain. I am in urgent need of that circular. Looking for an earliest response from you. Thanks in advance. ___ "Life's battle do not always go, To the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the one who wins, Is the one who thinks he Can". Satguru.
