The blind student may select the scribe
-
The scribe need not have a qualification lower than that of the student, provided that the scribe should not have the qualification ( with the same optional and languages) pertaining to the examination, which the student is writing ( for ex: a student who has completed B.A. or M.A. can be a scribe for the students who is taking B.Sc. Examinations)
-
A physically disabled / blind / hearing impaired candidate and the scribes for such a candidate shall be allowed an extra time of 20 minutes per hour.
-
As the hearing-impaired students are having language problems, possibilities of grammar mistakes, mistakes in building the sentences are there. Hence, the answer papers shall be identified separately and evaluated with additional care.
-
Reservation and relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PWD and other applicable categories shall be as per the rules of the Central Government/State Government whichever is applicable.
