If appearing for the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exam wasn’t challenging enough for visually impaired students, their assigned writers seem to be dampening their efforts. According to the students who opted for Arithmetic of Class VII, the Class VI writers assigned to them are too young to write their paper.

The board rule states that an SSC student opting for a writer will be assigned from a standard lower, primarily a Class IX student. However, following the same guidelines, visually impaired students who opt for Arithmetic as their subject (with Class VII syllabus) will be assigned a student from Class VI.
