The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has announced important updates regarding the scribe facility for candidates with disabilities.

The new guidelines particularly affect Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) and Persons with Disabilities (PwD) who are eligible for scribe assistance in SSC exams.

As SSC is a prominent recruitment body for various central government positions, these updates are crucial for candidates preparing for competitive exams such as SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, SSC JE, and others conducted by the Commission.

Key Changes in SSC’s Scribe Guidelines

One-Time Registration (OTR) for Scribes:

The SSC has introduced a mandatory One-Time Registration (OTR) process for individuals who want to act as scribes. Aspiring scribes must now register on the official SSC website before being eligible to assist candidates during exams. This system ensures that only verified and registered individuals are allowed to act as scribes, improving the security and accountability of the examination process.

Limitation on Scribe Assistance:

Under the new rules, a scribe can assist only one candidate per examination. This ensures that no undue advantage is given to any candidate and helps maintain the integrity of the examination process by preventing potential conflicts of interest.

Restrictions on Candidates Acting as Scribes:

Another key update is that candidates appearing for an exam cannot serve as scribes for other candidates in the same exam. This ensures fairness, as it eliminates any possibility of a candidate gaining an unfair advantage by acting as both a participant and a scribe.

Implementation of the New Guidelines

These updated guidelines will be implemented in all upcoming SSC exams. For exams where notifications have already been released, the SSC will issue separate updates on its website detailing how the new scribe-related rules will be applied. Candidates are strongly advised to frequently check the official SSC website for these updates to stay informed about any changes that may affect their examination process.

SSC's decision aligns with previous directives issued by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DoEPD) under the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment. The move ensures that PwBD and PwD candidates receive the necessary support during the exam without compromising the fairness of the recruitment process.
