hello everyone, the reason why I want to ask about this. Is because, I am the only visually impaired case in this university. Infact, I am the only person with disability in this university. And as for accessible books and materials. They are doing what they can. And for the fee thing. They are saying that, if there's any way where they can do something, they will definitely do it. Because, what I think is that, I will not be the first or the last case of this university. They will admit new students. And what if, someone comes who actually needs this exemption? then how will it look? because at the time of admissions they have made it very clear that, I am there learning case. So, whatever things are they will do it. Because, they want more students. and I don't think asking for some concession is a case of charity. Because, I din't payed any huge fee for my admission. What I really want is, that, they at leest come down to a concessional price. Because, here, they are actually charging too much. note: this is what I think. Sorry if anyone got hert by my words. with regards, Udit Pandey.
