Accessibility Options on the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Website

Updated

The IIT (ISM) Dhanbad website (iitism.ac.in) provides a built-in Accessibility Menu with four controls: contrast adjustment, bigger text, smaller text, and a reset option, plus a language toggle between Hindi and English. These options are useful if you find the default text hard to read or prefer browsing the site in Hindi rather than English. The menu appears as a panel labeled "Accessibility Menu" on the site, and all changes apply to how pages are displayed in your browser.

What the Accessibility Menu Includes

Control What it does When to use it
Contrast + Increases the visual contrast of the page Text or links blend into the background and are hard to distinguish
Bigger Text Enlarges the displayed text Default font size is too small for comfortable reading
Smaller Text Reduces the displayed text size You want more content visible on screen at once
Reset Text Returns text to its original size You have adjusted text size and want to start over
Hindi / English Switches the site language You prefer to read institute content in Hindi, or switched to Hindi and want to return to English

How to Use the Options

  1. Open iitism.ac.in in your browser.
  2. Locate the Accessibility Menu on the page (it is presented as a labeled panel with the controls listed above).
  3. Select the control you need:
    • Choose Contrast + to strengthen the difference between text and background.
    • Choose Bigger Text or Smaller Text to adjust font size step by step.
    • Choose Reset Text to restore the default size.
    • Choose Hindi or English to change the site language.
  4. Check the result on the page you are reading. If the change is not what you wanted, use Reset Text (for size) or switch the language back.

Expected result: pages display with your chosen contrast, text size, or language, making admission pages, department information, and other institute content easier to read.

Practical Notes

  • These controls affect display only; they do not change the underlying content of the site.
  • If text becomes too large and breaks the page layout, use Smaller Text or Reset Text to return to a workable view.
  • The language toggle is a quick way to check whether a page you need—such as admission or department information—is available in Hindi.
  • If the menu is not visible on a particular page, try returning to the home page, where the Accessibility Menu is part of the site's main navigation elements.

Who These Options Help

The menu is aimed at visitors who need more readable text or localized content—for example, a prospective student comparing departments who finds the default font small, or a Hindi-speaking parent reading admission information. For most routine browsing, the default settings work fine, and the menu is there when you need an adjustment.
