Dear Ishan, I feel that in my 52 years of life on earth, I must have written minimum 500 exams right from standard 5Th from an integrated school school in 1981. During that time, my teachers would take turn to write my exam different teachers for different subjects. In 10Th there was a rule that one grade below the scribe was eligible. When I came to college, my exams were written by high school students provided by college themselves. In 12Th standard the scribe who supposed to write my exam fell ill and an 8th standard wrote my exams. During by bank exams for Jaiib and Caiib many a times scribes did not not turn up and several times the police man who was present wrote my exam with dictationof all spellings. Now a days we sppek of computers which is fine, however, my view is that we can’t thing properly writing on computers thoughts will not flow well unless we practice well in advance. I request you all to communicate with the college officials, exam officials and write to boards to support Vi candidates with good scribes providing examples of earlier instances of bad scribes. I think writing exams using computers subjects maths, economics and accounts would be tough unless you practive well. Thanks DR.

When we were asked to give our voice on NEP on Disabilities, we have given our views on macro level and few points on each type of disabilities. however, I opine the outcome based inclusive education is the need of the hour. when we are thinking about scribe related mal practices I would like to highlight the following points,- 1) scribe as an option given to visually impaired who is totally or partially blind. 2) the total blind has the option of learning screen reader from the beginning or using scribe from the beginning or both. however, the low vision candidates may not have the experience of the both from beginning. In fact, I come across some of the low vision candidates have opted for scribe due to the font size and other technical glitches in the examination. 3) I have appeared a group 4 exam in TNPSC, I have been allotted a scribe and at the time of commencement of the exam, the examiner asked the scribe to record our conversation during the exam in an audio cassette. I opine that this can be adopted as best practice; but, there is a possibility of haggling arrangement between the scribe and the blind candidate. 4). audio and video recording of the entire exam by the blind while using scribe could be a viable option; for this, mobile of examiner or other people can be used for the recording. 5). though bringing scribe is given as an option to blind candidate still, I advocate that government should have pool of scribe with adequate qualification as per the requirements of each exams so that, states and PSUs could minimize these mal practices. I would like to highlight that my struggle on finding scribe during covid time while writing swayam exam was very painful. 6) we should not forget stories of how genuine candidates who lost their class exams and competitive exams due to unqualified scribes. 7) now option of scribe is also provided to other bench mark disabilities as well; hence, I also emphasize to widen the discussion for having comprehensive scribe policy.
