Services of a Scribe and Compensatory Time

The services of a scribe (amanuensis) are available to candidates who have a disability and require assistance in operating the computer for Part-A of the examination. However, the candidate will be required to attempt Part-B without the assistance of a scribe due to the nature of the paper. The rules for the same are described below:

  • To avail of this benefit, the candidate should select this option in the online registration form AND upload a copy of the PwD certificate (Appendices 5 – 9) at the time of online registration for UCEED 2025.
  • The eligible candidates will receive a compensatory time of 20 minutes per hour in Part A and 20 minutes for Part B. The compensatory time for Part-A cannot be transferred to Part-B and vice versa.
  • If a PwD candidate wants to avail compensatory time (20 minutes per hour) and/or request the assistance of a scribe, the same request should be mentioned while filling out the registration form. PwD certificate is to be uploaded along with such requests, which will be made in the given format (Appendix 10).
  • The UCEED Office will assess the request along with the supporting document(s) 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. Scribes will be students of Class XI. 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 availed of compensatory time but does NOT possess the extent of disability that warrants the use of a scribe and/or compensatory time, they will be excluded from the process of evaluation, ranking and admission. If the candidate has already been admitted, their admission will be cancelled.
