The Delhi High Court on Wednesday told the Delhi University to provide scribes for visually impaired students at common service centres (CSCs) for online Open Book Examinations (OBE) for final-year undergraduate courses.

A Bench of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Subramonium Prasad told DU to ensure that no such student is deprived of a scribe at the CSC if the varsity has been informed in advance.

The court also directed DU to also provide at least two reading material or textbooks of each paper to the visually impaired students. It also asked DU to come back with the exact date of declaration of results of students who will take part in the online OBE.
