Concessions / faculties including scribes to persons with disabilities while conducting examination for their recruitment from open market against 3% quota

Attention is invited to this Ministry’s letter of even number dated 17.09.2007 laying down detailed guidelines on the above subject. The matter has been reviewed by the Board and it has now been decided that the visually impaired applicants (who have opted for scribe) may be allowed one additional chance to change the scribe ten (10) days prior to the date of written examination by placing his/her request with the recruiting agency (ies) in writing, so that necessary formalities are completed in time. Even if due to certain unseen circumstances like postal delays etc., the communication between the recruiting agencies and applicants get affected, then these formalities be completed one day before at a centre decided and notified by the recruiting agencies.
