The services of a scribe are available to candidates who have a disability and require assistance to fill the OMR sheet for the Objective type of questions of the DAT Prelims exam. However, the candidate will be required to attempt the subjective part of the DAT Prelims exam without the services of scribe and assistance, due to its nature, as described below.

• To avail this benefit, the candidate should select the option of Scribe during the online registration form AND upload a copy of the valid PwD certificate (format available on the website https://admissions.nid.edu), at the time of filling the online application form. The compensatory time of each part/exam is non-transferable. As per Office Memorandum of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment F.No. 34-02/ 2015-DD-III dated August 29, 2018, the PwD candidates who desire to avail the services of a scribe must follow the guidelines for conducting the written examination for Persons with Benchmark disabilities.
• If a PwD candidate wants to avail compensatory time (20 minutes per hour) and/or request the assistance of a scribe, they will have to select relevant options, while filling the online application form. A valid PwD certificate must be uploaded along with such requests (formats available on the website https://admissions.nid.edu).
• The Admission Cell Office will assess the request along with the supporting document and contact the candidate via email on their registered email id with further instructions if necessary.
• If it is found that a candidate has used the services of a scribe and/or compensatory time but DOES NOT possess the extent of disability that warrants the use of a scribe and/or compensatory time, he/she will be excluded from the process of DAT Prelims answer sheet evaluation, ranking and subsequent stages of admissions. If the candidate has already been admitted, his/her admission will stand cancelled.
