The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued guidelines regarding the provision of scribe assistance and compensatory time for candidates with disabilities participating in the JEE (Main) Examination. Here are the key points:
Benchmark Disability: A person with at least 40% disability, certified by a relevant authority.
Person with Disability: Includes those with long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments that hinder full participation in society.
Candidates with benchmark disabilities (e.g., blindness, locomotor disabilities) can request a scribe/reader/lab assistant if they have limitations in writing.
Other candidates with disabilities can also request a scribe if they provide a medical certificate confirming their need.
A medical certificate must be obtained from a government healthcare institution, detailing the candidate's writing limitations.
A multi-member medical authority will assess and certify the need for a scribe.
Candidates using a scribe will receive a minimum of 20 minutes of compensatory time for every hour of the examination.
For a 3-hour exam, candidates will receive at least 1 hour of additional time, regardless of whether they use a scribe.
If the exam duration is less than an hour, additional time will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.
Candidates can choose their own scribe or request one from the examination body. They should meet the scribe two days before the exam to ensure suitability.
Guidelines also include provisions for assistive devices, proper seating arrangements, and accessibility at examination centers.
Candidates are encouraged to regularly check the official NTA websites for the latest updates regarding the JEE (Main) Examination.
For further assistance, candidates can contact the NTA helpline or visit the official websites provided in the notice
Candidates must have qualified 10+2 examination or equivalent from any recognized institution/Board in 2023 or 2024.
Candidates must have passed class 12th or equivalent from any recognized board with Mathematics and physics as main subjects along with Chemistry/ Biotechnology/ Biology/ Technical vocational subjects with a minimum 75% score (65% for ST and ST category candidates).
