Accessibility

Bhagirath National University is committed to ensuring equal access to information and services for all users, including persons with disabilities. We strive to conform to Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and continuously work to improve the accessibility of our online portal.

Our portal incorporates several accessibility features: semantic HTML markup for screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation for all interactive elements, sufficient color contrast ratios for text readability, alternative text descriptions for images and graphics, clear and consistent navigation structure, resizable text without loss of functionality, and descriptive link text. We avoid automatic audio, flashing content that could trigger seizures, and time-limited sessions for form submissions.

For users requiring alternative formats of information, we provide: downloadable PDFs with accessible formatting, transcripts for audio content, text alternatives for graphical information, and contact information for requesting documents in Braille, large print, or audio formats. Admission forms and examination applications can be submitted in person with assistance from our staff if online submission is not accessible.

Our physical campus also prioritizes accessibility with ramps and elevators in all buildings, accessible washrooms, designated parking spaces, tactile paving, audio-visual announcements, accessible library facilities with assistive technologies, and wheelchair-accessible classrooms and examination halls.

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our portal and services. If you encounter accessibility barriers or require assistance, please contact our Accessibility Support Team at accessibility@bnu.ac.in or call +91-11-2766-XXXX. We will work with you to provide the information or service in an alternative format. You may also submit suggestions for improvements through our feedback form.

We conduct regular accessibility audits and user testing with persons with disabilities to identify and address barriers. Our commitment to accessibility is ongoing, and we continue to enhance our digital and physical infrastructure to ensure an inclusive educational environment for all members of our university community.
