I would mostly reiterate what others have already mentioned. 1. there should be a video recording provision for all candidates whether blind or not. Once all the candidates know that a video could be examined anytime, they would stop cheating. Such videos should be examined randomly to find if any candidate is cheating. 2. the additional time is very less. Many international examination bodies provide 100 percent additional time. 3. once we consider suggestion 1, qualification of scribes becomes irrelevant. 4. regarding computer and Braille exam, many examination bodies may not have budget to provides these formats. Remember braille paper is not just about purchasing printer, a braille paper must also be examined for accuracy. Same is the case for electronic format. Someone could paste an image or inaccessible equation in a word document. So these documents should be verified for accessibility. The whole process needs to be centralized. Also remember, even if once paper is leaked during making it accessible, the entire process would be blamed and we would suffer a big setback. Besides, all examination bodies are not as big as UPSC. 5. So we need to setup accessible examination provider that could help many examination bodies. Such a provider could be part of Ministry of social justice. This provider could also ensure quality of question papers.

Subject: Re: [AI] Scribe guidelines Cheating in examinations is a common practice. Refer to recently held AIPMT2015. So the argument of cheating should not and cannot be an excuse. Cheating has to be stopped through the invigilater and not by creating hurdles by formulating painstaking guidelines. Therefore, when many cheats succeed in achieving their targets unnoticed, why special treatment to the VI?

Subject: Re: [AI] Scribe guidelines Harish sir, you may not be right what you've mentioned in your first message of this thread. If some foul play has been done at mains exam level with the perspective of UPSC or the candidate, it can not be dealt at the interview level. Because in UPSC interview is totally separet from mains exam, interviewer don't have access to the candidate's mains marks . Suppose a candidate got help from the scribe in improving his answers, he will get good marks in mains exam, even if he secures lesser marks in interview, he will be qualified because marit is prepared after combining both stage's marks. Now take the reverse scenario, if a candidate has suffered irreparable loss due to that sarkari scribe, he will get very low marks in mains exam itself, may be he couldn't qualify for interview just on this basis. Or he got very poor marks in mains, even he secure fair marks in interview level, he will not figure in final selection list!
