Dear Friends,
I seek your advice & guidance regarding a writer-related problem.
Last Sunday, I had appeared for the recruitment exam conducted by BPCL for
PWD & OBC candidates. In it's advertisement, BPCL had undertaken to provide
scribes for PWD candidates requiring them.
Unfortunately, the writer provided to me had a very poor command of English.
He kept skipping & mispronouncing words. After struggling with the writer
for a half-hour, I requested the exam supervisor to provide me with an
alternative writer. I was informed that no alternative writers were
available & the examination centre (a junior college in Sion) had arranged
only three writers for the three PWD candidates appearing for that exam.
Since one of the other PWD candidates had failed to appear for the test, I
was provided with the writer initially allotted to him. Fortunately, the
replacement writer had good reading skills & I was able to proceed smoothly
with him.
I seek the advice & suggestions of the respected members on the following
points.
1.. Are there any guidelines for selection of writers by examination
authorities who provide writers to the candidates?
B. What guidelines could be framed to ensure that such writers have a
reasonable command of English & decent reading skills as a minimum
standard?
c. In case a replacement writer is unavailable & the PWD candidate is not
comfortable with the allotted writer, what steps should the candidate take?
d. Is there a provision for the candidates to try writers from a panel of
writers provided by the examining authority to decide which writer is
suitable?
Thanking you all in advance for your invaluable suggestions on above
queries.
Regards
Mr. Sameer Latey
