Dear Dananjay Do you think, you can take an initiative of audio / video recording of the exams of VI candidate as a part of the support service in providing scribes. I suppose it is time for someone to bell the cat and build precedence
Please also document the process of the equipment used, the preservation policy of the recording, protocol to handover the recording etc. Get the documentation published on your portal so that it becomes a fully transparent process. Your thoughts please.

I would like to know what are the rules/guidelines for institutions providing scribe from their side? Being coordinator of disability support services of Pune University I have to provide scribes to students appearing exam in university department and affiliated colleges. Some times we provide a senior person like research associate or teaching assistant who acts as a scribe and superviser as well. Is it allowed? This practice eliminate mal practices and also helpful to students with visual impairment as such persons can understand what student is dictating. Also Many departmental heads or examination centre chief consult to coordinator of disability support service for specific cases such as what type of scribe should be provided to MBA student. Whether the scribe should be from non management non commerce background? I suggest them that the scribe should be from same discipline but 1 year lower qualification. EG if student is appearing second year MCA the scribe should be from First year MCA or lower. Not from social science background. If student is comfortable with other stream, they can go for it. Keeping rational in mind, we manipulate some rules for the convenience of students and institutes. There should be guidelines for institutes as well which provides scribes to students. I remembered that I was given a clurck as my scribe in CSIR NET exam who was not able to understand and read and write several terminologies of science and mathematics. I struggled a lot there. Exam aspirents with visual impairment should not face such issues if scribe is provided by institutes conducting exams.
