Yes friends please do join me. As I will be challenging this notification very soon. My one of the remedies claimed will be to provide question paper in accessible format with screenreader if demanded in soft copy and compensatory time for 20 minutes per hour. And of course to provide minimum 3% quota on total advertised vacancies. The notification is clearly in contradiction of last October 8th pronouncement of hon'ble Supreme Court. NFB, can u help us please once again?
