    (i) Guidelines for Persons With Benchmark Disabilities using a Scribe

    The visually impaired candidates and candidates whose writing speed is adversely affected
    permanently for any reason can use their own scribe at their cost during the online examination
    (preliminary and main). In all such cases where a scribe is used, the following rules will apply:
    • The candidate will have to arrange his / her own scribe at his/her own cost.
    • The scribe may be from any academic stream.
    • Both the candidate as well as scribe will have to give a suitable undertaking confirming that the
    scribe fulfils all the stipulated eligibility criteria for a scribe mentioned above. Further in case it
    later transpires that he/she did not fulfil any laid down eligibility criteria or suppressed material
    facts the candidature of the applicant will stand cancelled, irrespective of the result of the CWE.
    • Those candidates who use a scribe shall be eligible for compensatory time of 20 minutes or
    otherwise advised for every hour of the examination.
    • The scribe arranged by the candidate should not be a candidate for the examination (CWE
    PO/MT-VII). If violation of the above is detected at any stage of the process, candidature
    for CWE of both the candidate and the scribe will be cancelled. Candidates eligible for and
    who wish to use the services of a scribe in the examination should invariably carefully
    indicate the same in the online application form. Any subsequent request may not be
    favourably entertained.
    • Only candidates registered for compensatory time will be allowed such concessions since
    compensatory time given to candidates shall be system based, it shall not be possible for the
    test conducting agency to allow such time if he / she is not registered for the same.
    Candidates not registered for compensatory time shall not be allowed such concessions.

    (ii) Guidelines for candidates with locomotor disability and cerebral palsy
    Compensatory time of twenty minutes per hour or otherwise advised shall be permitted for the
    candidates with locomotor disability and cerebral palsy where dominant (writing) extremity is
    affected to the extent of slowing the performance of function (minimum of 40% impairment).
    (iii) Guidelines for Visually Impaired candidates
    • Visually Impaired candidates (who suffer from not less than 40% of disability) may opt to view
    the contents of the test in magnified font and all such candidates will be eligible for
    compensatory time of 20 minutes for every hour or otherwise advised of examination.
    • The facility of viewing the contents of the test in magnifying font will not be available to
    Visually Impaired candidates who use the services of a Scribe for the examination.
    These guidelines are subject to change in terms of GOI guidelines/ clarifications, if any, from
    time to time.
