The revised scheme is effective from March,2015 examination for both the classes.

It is further clarified that the revised scheme for Visually impaired students is being extended only to CBSE affiliated schools. The schools, the parents, the students and other stakeholders may carefully refer to the requirement of admitting organisations/colleges/universities for further upward mobility in the academic career related to these subjects.
