How To apply for a scribe?

I'm writing from experience as I took the April 2024 exams with a scribe. Firstly, NIOS or the exam center will not provide a scribe/writer. You have to find one by yourself.

Documents Required

  1. Application by the Parent*
  2. Medical Certificate*
  3. Copy of Disability Certificate*
  4. Study Certificate*
  5. Student ID card of the school and Aadhaar card of the writer/scribe*
  6. NIOS ID card of the learner*

Xerox copies works
