Delhi High Court Orders SSC to Improve Accessibility for Blind Candidates
The Delhi High Court wants the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) to make it easier for blind people to apply for jobs online.
Right now, the way the website works makes it hard for them to upload photos, which they need to apply.
The court received complaints that this is unfair.
The court told SSC to look at those complaints.
They want SSC to create another way for blind people to upload their photos.
This means they can also apply for the exams fairly.
The court told the SSC to fix these problems for future exams.
Delhi High Court ordered the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) to improve its online portal for visually impaired applicants.
The court addressed a plea from the National Federation of the Blind regarding the difficulties blind candidates face when uploading photos.
The petition highlighted that the current system prevents blind candidates from participating in recruitment due to photo upload issues.
The court instructed the SSC to consider alternative photo upload methods for exams such as the Combined Graduate Level Examinations.
The SSC was asked to review 60 emails from affected candidates and make the portal more user-friendly.
