Official Scribe Portal Notice
Read the official instructions for PwD candidates.
NTA issued an official notice for PwD/PwBD candidates connected with NEET UG 2026 scribe details. Because this is an accessibility-related process, students and parents should rely only on the official NTA portal/notice and avoid forwarded instructions. Check the notice, login requirement and any document requirement before taking action.
Understanding Scribe Eligibility
Scribe-related facilities are governed by official PwD/PwBD guidelines and NTA instructions. Do not assume eligibility only from a social media post or an old exam notice.
Open the official notice and check whether the portal asks for candidate details, scribe details, certificate details or any undertaking.
Bringing Your Own Scribe
If you choose to arrange your own scribe, the NTA has strict qualification rules. Generally, the scribe must not be involved in the medical field or possess qualifications that could compromise the integrity of the exam.
You must upload the scribe’s educational certificates, an ID proof, and a passport-sized photograph on the portal for pre-approval by the center authorities.
Opting for an NTA-Provided Scribe
If you cannot arrange a scribe, you must indicate on the portal that you need the NTA to provide one. Do this immediately, as the NTA requires time to arrange qualified personnel at your specific exam center.
Candidates usually meet the NTA-provided scribe a day before the exam or early on exam morning to ensure compatibility.
Compensatory Time Guidelines
Eligible PwD candidates, whether using a scribe or not, are usually entitled to compensatory time. However, this must be verified on the admit card.
Ensure you carry all original disability certificates to the exam center, as the center superintendent must physically verify them before allowing compensatory time.
Exam Day Preparation
Print the scribe declaration form generated from the portal. Both you and your scribe will need to sign specific undertakings in front of the invigilator.
Ensure your scribe carries their original Government ID exactly as submitted on the portal; otherwise, they will be denied entry.
FAQs
Can I change my scribe on the day of the exam?
In emergency situations, it may be allowed subject to the center superintendent’s approval, but you must provide all required documents for the new scribe immediately.
Is compensatory time given if I don’t use a scribe?
Yes, eligible PwD candidates with specified disabilities are entitled to compensatory time even if they write the exam themselves, subject to official rules.
What if my PwD certificate is rejected?
If the center officials find the certificate invalid or not matching guidelines, you will be treated as a general candidate and denied a scribe and extra time.
