 Guidelines for Persons With Disabilities using a Scribe: 

The visually handicapped candidates and candidates whose writing speed is adversely affected permanently for any reason can use their own scribe at their cost during the online examination. In all such cases where a scribe is used, the following rules will apply (As per instructions of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities’ OM No.34-02/2015-DD-III dated 23rd August, 2018)

• In case of persons with benchmark disabilities in the category of blindness, locomotor disability (both arms
affected-BA) and cerebral palsy, the facility of scribe shall be given, if so desired by the candidate.

• In case of other category of persons with benchmark disabilities, the provision of scribe can be allowed on
production of certificate to the effect that the candidate concerned has physical limitation to write, and scribe is
essential on their behalf, from the Chief Medical Officer/Civil Surgeon/ Medical Superintendent of a Government health care institution as per the proforma at Form-XII.
Appropriate option in the online application form shall have to be selected during the filling of the online
application and the filled Form-XII shall be submitted by the candidate at the time of online examination.

• The candidate has the discretion of opting for their own scribe or request the FSSAI for the same. If the scribe is arranged by the Authority, the candidate shall be allowed to meet the scribe two days before the examination.

• In case the candidate brings their own scribe, the qualification of the scribe should be one step below the qualification of the candidate taking examination. The persons with benchmark disabilities opting for own scribe should submit details of their own scribe in the online application form and bring the certificate at the time of Document verification/Interview as per proforma at Form-XIII.

• Both the candidate as well as scribe will have to give a suitable undertaking confirming that the scribe fulfils all
the stipulated eligibility criteria for a scribe mentioned above. Further in case it later transpires that he/she did not fulfil any laid down eligibility criteria or suppressed material facts the candidature of the applicant will stand cancelled, irrespective of the result of the online examination.
