I would like to add one more quick point with relevant to Rajesh sir's point on taking exam in braille. In my opinion, we should have a provision for request question papers in braille so that we can read and digest well. In addition, we can also get tactile diagrams. Simultaneously, we should have the provision for requesting a scribe, basically a writer so that he/ she could record all of our responses and our answer sheets will undergo typical and fair evaluation. As long as our requests are reasonable, there is nothing wrong in providing more than one accomodations for individuals with disabilities. I personally do not aware anyone who took their civil service or other exams in braille. However, Vetri has taken his GRE exam in braille. Again, the the question papers were provided in braille and a writer recorded all of his responses.
