JEE Advanced

Candidates who desire to avail the services of a scribe need to opt for this during the online registration of JEE Advanced. Note that the scribe will help the candidate only in reading the questions and/or keying in the answers as per the directions of the candidate.

To avail the services of a scribe in JEE Advanced, the candidate must submit a request to the Chairperson of JEE (Advanced) 2025 at the nearest Zonal Coordinating IIT, using the prescribed format and providing the required certificates. The Zonal Coordinating IITs will coordinate with the Test Centre Administrator (TCA) to arrange a panel of scribes (amanuenses).

Candidates with disabilities (PwD), severe dyslexia, or those with less than 40% disability and difficulty in writing, must select a scribe from this panel. Candidates are not permitted to bring their own scribes. The candidate will have the opportunity to meet the panel of scribes one day before the exam, in the presence of IIT Representatives (IRs), the Test Centre Administrator (TCA), and an Invigilator, to choose their scribe.
