Page 5 of 28 
 
Note for PWBD: 
PWBD candidates may belong to any category (UR/SC/ST/OBC), Reservation for PWBD is 
horizontal and within the overall vacancies for the post. The PWBD candidates are required 
to submit Benchmark Disability Certificate as per the provisions of the RPD Act, 2016. 
(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, subject to limits as in (ii) and (iii) below. In all such cases where a scribe is used, 
the following rules will apply:  
a. The candidate will have to arrange his/her own scribe at his/her own cost.  
b. The scribe arranged by the candidate should not be a candidate for the same 
examination. If violation of the above is detected at any stage of the process, 
candidature 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 will 
not be favourably entertained.  
c. A person acting as a scribe for one candidate cannot be a scribe for another candidate.  
d. The scribe may be from any academic stream. However, for posts in disciplines other 
than "General", the scribe should be from an academic stream different from that 
prescribed for the post.  
e. Scribe should not answer on his/her own. Any such behaviour observed will result in 
cancellation of candidature  
f. 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 scribe as 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 online examination and interview / final 
result. 
g. Those candidates who use a scribe shall be eligible for compensatory time of 20 
minutes for every hour of the examination or as otherwise advised.  
h. Only candidates registered for compensatory time will be allowed such concession. 
Since the 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  
A compensatory time of twenty minutes per hour or otherwise advised shall be permitted for 
the candidates with locomotor disability and cerebral palsy where dominant extremity 
(writing) is affected to the extent of slowing the performance of function (minimum of 40% 
impairment).
