hi folks I don't think this is an isolated incident. I to have faced the problem of incompetent scribe or writer twice. Once with UGC NET and almost a year back with kerala PSC. In the latter case, the person who came to assist me was completely drunk. and i had to request the exam authorities to replace him which they did. But not before a war of words and threatening from the drunken man. the whole situation can dampen ones spirit and confidence. Now, if this is so widespread we must do something urgent. let's put our thoughts and experiences together and try to find a solution. cheers rohith
