India's New Exam Guidelines Fail Visually Impaired Candidates

India's New Exam Guidelines Fail Visually Impaired Candidates

Imagine trying to take a test but not being able to see the questions.

New rules were made to help people with vision problems take tests, like using special screen readers and keyboards.

But these new rules are not strong enough.

They don't make sure the test makers actually help.

The government is taking too long to implement these changes, so people who cannot see well still have trouble taking important tests.

People with vision problems often must depend on help from others during the exam, which is not fair.

This is because the rules aren't serious enough and don't make test makers change their systems to help everyone.
