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.
