Who can request a scribe
The facility is for candidates with disabilities who face functional limitation in writing, subject to the prescribed certification. For blindness, locomotor disability affecting both arms, and cerebral palsy, the disability certificate or UDID itself can establish entitlement. For other specified disabilities, candidates need the prescribed certificate on functional limitation in writing and the need for a scribe.
The facility follows guidelines from the Government of India. These are the Revised Comprehensive Guidelines issued by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan). The Department works under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. The guidelines are set out in Office Memorandum F. No. P-13013/75/2023-Policy-DD-III dated 1 August 2025.
Documents required
- Annexure-I request form, filled with candidate and disability particulars.
- A valid disability certificate or UDID from a competent authority.
- The prescribed medical certificate on functional limitation in writing and the need for a scribe, wherever it applies.
- Admit card or application particulars, and any other information SPSC asks for during verification.
The form also asks for the medium or language of the examination. It notes whether SPSC allots a scribe or allows the candidate’s own scribe, subject to approval.
Compensatory time and scribe interaction
Candidates who get the facility receive compensatory time of not less than 20 minutes per hour, subject to the prescribed conditions. A candidate allotted an SPSC scribe may meet the scribe for interaction for up to 20 minutes. This usually happens one hour before the exam starts. Any request to change the scribe is considered under the applicable guidelines and depends on availability.
