From: vib-in...@googlegroups.com [mailto:vib-in...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Asudani, Rajesh Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 1:13 PM To: vib-in...@googlegroups.com Subject: (VIB) Scribe guidelines for bank exams-something new Friends I don't know whether it has been noticed by anybody, but guidelines for taking scribe in recently published SBI PO and PO RB advertisements do not mention the minimum percentage of marks by scribe and they have tried to be a bit clear about qualifications of the scribe. I don't know whether former is an oversight and they would crop up some internal circular or manual and would torture those taking scribe scoring above 60% or so. Later point about scribe's qualifications also raises some doubts as one grade junior to candidate i.e. graduation has been taken to be not more than 12th standard whereas it should also include graduation first and second year as well. When SBI says not more than xiith standard, I am sure their staff would not even permit scribes having passed xiith standard. Guidelines of the advertise are reproduced below for perusal: i) The candidate will have to arrange his/her own scribe/writer at his/her cost. ii) Scribe/writer must be essentially one grade lower in educational qualification than the minimum eligibility educational qualifications of the candidate (i.e. graduation in this recruitment), thus the qualification of scribe/ writer should not be more than XIIth standard or Diploma passed after Xth standard. iii) Both the candidate as well as the scribe/writer will have to give a suitable undertaking, confirming that the scribe/writer fulfils all the stipulated eligibility criteria for a scribe/ writer as mentioned above. Further, in case it later transpires that he/she did not fulfil any of the laid-down eligibility criteria or suppressed material facts, the candidature of the applicant will stand cancelled, irrespective of the result of the written examination. iv) Only those candidates who use a scribe/writer shall be eligible for extra time of 20 minutes and/or part there of for every hour of the examination provided that the candidate uses scribe/ writer for both the objective and descriptive test. d) At the time of written examination, only blind/low vision candidates and those candidates whose writing speed is affected by cerebral palsy can use own scribe/writer at his/ her own cost. In all such cases where a scribe/writer is used, the following rules will apply : i) The candidate will have to arrange his/her own scribe/writer at his/her cost. ii) Scribe/writer must be essentially one grade lower in educational qualification than the minimum eligibility educational qualifications of the candidate (i.e. graduation in this recruitment), thus the qualification of scribe/ writer should not be more than XIIth standard or Diploma passed after Xth standard. iii) Both the candidate as well as the scribe/writer will have to give a suitable undertaking, confirming that the scribe/writer fulfils all the stipulated eligibility criteria for a scribe/ writer as mentioned above. Further, in case it later transpires that he/she did not fulfil any of the laid-down eligibility criteria or suppressed material facts, the candidature of the applicant will stand cancelled, irrespective of the result of the written examination. iv) Only those candidates who use a scribe/writer shall be eligible for extra time of 20 minutes and/or part there of for every hour of the examination provided that the candidate uses scribe/ writer for both the objective and descriptive test.
