Services of a Scribe and Compensatory Time:
  • The services of a scribe (amanuensis) are available to candidates who have disability and require assistance in operating the computer for the exam for Part-A of the examination. However, the candidate will be required to attempt Part-B without assistance, due to the nature of the questions. The procedure to avail this benefit is described below:
  • The candidate should select this option in the online registration form AND upload a copy of the PwD certificate at the time of online registration for CEED
  • If a PwD candidate wants to avail compensatory time (20 minutes per hour) and/or requests the assistance of a scribe, the same request should be mentioned while filling the registration form. PwD certificate is to be uploaded along with such requests.
  • The CEED office will assess the request along with the supporting documents and contact the candidate via email with further instructions, if necessary.
  • Necessary arrangements will be made through the test centre administrator (TCA) of the examination centre to provide a panel of scribes (amanuenses) for the eligible candidates. The PwD/Dyslexic (severe) candidate has to choose a scribe from this panel. The candidates will NOT be allowed to bring their own scribes.
  • If it is found that a candidate has used the services of a scribe and/or compensatory time, but DOES NOT possess the extent of disability that warrants the use of a scribe and/or compensatory time, he/she will be excluded from the process of evaluation, ranking and admission.
