Order
Sh. Mohit Kumar Gupta, Advocate vide email dated 28.02.2017 on behalf of Ms. Rekha Rani, a person with more than 40% locomotor disability submitted that she secured 71.75 marks (Section A 26.5 and Section B 45.25 marks) for the post of Assistant Teacher (Nursery), Post Code 88/17, though cut off marks for OH PH was 70, yet she was not short listed.
2.       Upon considering the version of DSSSB that the complainant did not get minimum qualifying marks of 30% in Section A and hence she was not short listed, the complaint was closed.
3.       Sh. Mohit Kumar Gupta vide his email dated 02.05.2019 has contended that the relevant advertisement of 2017 did not mention about the minimum qualifying marks in each section.  He has therefore contended that necessary direction should be issued for ensuring reasonable assistance and infrastructure for resolving the grievances of candidates with disabilities before closing the complaint.
4.       In view of the above, the following recommendations are made to avoid inconvenience to candidates with disabilities:
i)        Information about various qualifying criteria such as minimum qualifying marks in various papers should be mentioned either in the relevant advertisement or a link to the relevant notices in accessible format in the website of DSSSB should be indicated in the advertisement.
ii)       Queries of candidates with disabilities should be resolved either through emails or on telephone in a time bound manner and a quick grievance redressal mechanism at appropriate level in DSSSB should also be put in place and operationalized to minimise the need for interface between the candidate and the officials.
