A Novel Approach for Examination of Visually Challenged Candidates by E-Evaluation Techniques

The evaluation of physically challenged is always a challenging task as any evaluation of them is compared with that of normal candidates. The case of visually challenged is still more difficult as vision is a nunerouno sensor in the field of study and knowledge enhancement and evaluation of them on par with other candidate is very difficult. The aim of this paper is to present an approach for E-evaluation model for the visually challenged students/candidates for the screening tests conducted by the different examination authorities. The major attempt is made to use the personal computer and avoid the use of a scriber by the candidate so that candidate can take the exam independently. A portion of the PC keyboard is slightly modified in its software functionality to help them in undergoing the test. Also described is the functioning of this model of E-Evaluation and its relative advantages.
