There is no point in arguing here. The assumption of such provisions is
blind people who are preparing for professional, banking and UPSC exams are
not likely to have the knowledge of either computers or Braille.

It is not only the UPSC exam being conducted on whole of the earth all
the time. There are other exams conducted by the government where no
special centers are designated for visually impaired candidates. To
count, state public service commission, state judiciary, state higher
education, state public prosecuting exams, UGC Net and so many exams
are conducted all the time. Will you demand those stupid people to
install CCTV cameras everywhere? Why don't you demand that IBPS,
those conduct exam using computer system, should provide screenreader
in their system and get rid of scribe? Because nobody can argue that
he doesn't know how to operate the computer, because it is necessary
that the person must have the knowledge of computer to be appointed in
banks.
My argument is that, don't ask for the moon at least. In all
examinations special centers can not be created for visually impaired,
if it is done, it will cause hardships to us only.
We are having legal quibbling by these arguments. the matter is
simple, what you are demanding, mean to strengthen the invigilation by
installing cameras etc. and not compromising on the unlimited
qualification of the scribe, can never be accepted by the government.

I believe that this is the age of e governance. And the government
from 2004 irrespective of which political party is in power is
vehementaly promoting it. Now when cat exams can be held online using
computers, then why can’t UPSC simply installs few cctv cameras at few
centres for the blind. IBPS also hols its banking exams online these
days. And online exams require constant supply of electricity. So when
the problem of electricity can be resolved effectively while
conducting these cat and IBPS exams, then why can’t government arrange
the same for UPSC exams? I think that the way logistics are arranged
for conducting these exams similarly they should be arranged for UPSC
exams. In cat every year more than five lakh students sit for the exam
and the exam is held online in single sitting.
So lets not fight among ourselves. As of now UPSC or government has
not come up with the argument that they will have logistical problems
in installing cctv cameras. So lets speak our arguments here and lets
not speak on behalf of them.
