The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati is set to hold the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced on June 4. In order to accommodate candidates in the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) category or those with less than 40 percent disability, the institute will allow them to choose a scribe for the exam. Candidates who have registered and meet the eligibility criteria can select their scribe from the official website of JEE Advanced: https://jeeadv.ac.in/. It is important to note that personal scribes will not be permitted for the examination. On June 3, applicants are allowed to meet the scribe in the presence of IIT representatives, the test centre administrator, and an invigilator. Following this meeting, the candidate can choose a suitable scribe for the test.

Visually impaired candidates, those with severe dyslexia, and individuals with upper limb disabilities are eligible to opt for a scribe during the examination. Candidates with disabilities of less than 40 percent are also entitled to a scribe. The scribes themselves must be Class XI students from the science stream with Mathematics as one of their courses.
