Best is we must be allowed to our own scribers, scribers provided by  examining 
authorities/agencies are always substandard/unqualified, I have heard many 
times clerks/peons are provided as scribers, terrible!

Subject: Re: [AI] Scribe guidelines

Hi

Depending on institution to provide a scribe is good. But what if that
institution send an unqualified one? What action can be done against
it?
I had a very bad experience in this matter with UPSC exam. When I
wrote for my first attempt I opted for UPSC scribe thinking that I
will get a good one. Unfortunate for me, I got a girl who did not even
know how to pronounce english words and I have to ask for spellings
almost the whole of exam period.
What can we do in such cases except to feel dejected without my fault for it?
