Hi, This is indeed a good news. I don't understand why CBSE fails to include such facilities in their competitive examinations, which are otherwise available in their Board Examinations? For instance, I have a profficiency test next week. This is being organised for all students of class X (now in class XI), and is a National Level Competitive Examination. However, the circulars or the guidelines do not mention a word about what special facilities does the Board propose to provide for the differently abled students. As it is, the schools are closed, and the board officials are difficult to contact. Kindly advise what to do in this regard.
