Dear sir,

My son shankaran m iyer, has mental # problem (Am attaching his medical certificate) and was allowed a scribe to help him write his xth standard science & technology on-demand paper during january 2018. He also submitted his project and the examiner mrs vijaya (East and west school, bangalore) was very happy with his viva.

However the next day, she called my wife, mentioning that the regional director mr. Chandrasekhar, had asked for his project to be re-written by my son and re-submitted. My son who is in the autistic spectrum, got hyper, harmed himself by biting his hands. Inspite of that we got him to write the project work. Next day the examiner mrs vijaya took the project from my son and she took the viva again (She saw that my son's hands had bleeding marks)

He has now scored 12 in his theory and 9 marks in his project submission (After giving his viva). I am very surprised that a child who is making all efforts to succeed, has been give 9 out of 15 in his project/submission. We had couple of senior science teachers check his project work, before submission. So i am very clear that he does not deserve anything less than 15 marks in projects (In which case, he would have passed the exam).

I also want to bring up here, that when my son was giving his science and technology exam on 25th october 2017, he and the scribe were harassed by the nios invigilator in spastics society, bangalore, and my son had a severe panic attack. He was evicted within 15 minutes of the start of paper. All our plea and the pleas from the spastics teachers fell on deaf ears. We brought up this issue with mr. Chandrasekhar (Regional director - nios), but he was so rude, and not willing to hear our case.

To clarify, in october 2017, i am told that in the project internal marks, my son was given 7.5 out of 7.5 by spastics. How come that for the same project nios gave him 1.5 out of 7.5 marks.

Equally during the january 2018 on-demand exam, mrs vijaya the practical examiner was very happy with my son's viva (Given his challenges), and mentioned that he should be getting full marks. However he has been given 9 marks

So i am surprised with his practical marks and suspect foul play. I suspect personal vendetta and someone senior in nios bangalore is intentionally scuttling my son's marks, and request your good self to respect fully enquire into the matter. I also feel that there is foul play involved in his theory paper evaluation

We look forward to your response and investigation in the matter.

Thanking you,

Mahadevan iyer
