Mostly in the competitive exams. the authority who conducts the exams does
prescribe the qualifications of a scribe. Generally, 1. The scribe should
not belong to the same discipline of the candidates; 2. He /she should be
one level below the candidate; 3. He /she must not have obtained more than
50%. I believe the persons having such restrictions generally be slow in
reading the questions and writing the answers. The competitive exams require
not writing but ticking and require reading. The scribe should be
acquainted with numbers and numeric symbols. If not the VC could not catch
the questions.In such situations they will be jeopardized.
In this circumstance I wish to inform you all that TNPC. do not prescribe
the marks for the criteria for the scribe.
They themselves arrange scribes & keep recorder to check malpractices.I find
it is useful for all exams.
Recently CBSC allows to use computer for exams for those who are acquainted
with computer application. This also more helpful.
I wish exams should be more accessible to the VCs.
