Arrangement of Own Scribe for UGC NET/ CSIR NET
A PwBD candidate can bring his or her own scribe or can avail the same from the NTA as well. In case a candidate is bringing his or her own scribe, the qualification of that scribe should be one step below that of the candidate taking the UGC NET or CSIR NET examination. Such candidates need to submit the details of their own scribe at the UGC NET exam centre 2022 or CSIR NET exam centre 2022, as per Appendix-II of the said Guidelines.
Arrangement of Scribe from NTA for UGC NET/ CSIR NET
If a PwBD candidate has opted for a scribe from the NTA, then he or she needs to visit their allotted exam centres two days prior to the exam to meet the scribe. The details of the allotted exam centre will be provided on the UGC NET admit card 2022 or CSIR NET admit card 2022.
