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 2026.
• In case of persons with disabilities in the category of blindness, locomotor disability (Both Arms only) and cerebral palsy, the facility of scribe/reader/ lab assistant may be given, if so desired by the person, upon production of valid disability certificate/ UDID card without requiring an additional medical certificate as per the proforma given in Appendix 10.
• In the case of disabilities other than blindness, locomotor disability (both arms affected only), and cerebral palsy, the facility of scribe/reader/lab assistant must be allowed on production of a certificate to the effect that the person concerned has a functional limitation to write, caused by the specified disability and, therefore, a scribe is essential to write the examination on his/her behalf. The certificate is to be issued, after due medical examination by the Chief Medical Officer/Civil Surgeon/ Medical Superintendent of a Government healthcare institution as per the proforma given in Appendix 10.
• 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 11).
• 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 by 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, typically a day before the examination. 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.
