CUET UG 2026: NTA Requests Scribe Information from PwD and PwBD Candidates
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released an important notification for candidates appearing in the CUET UG 2026 examination under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) and Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) categories. Those who wish to avail the scribe facility must submit their scribe details by May 5, up to 11:50 PM. The CUET UG examination is scheduled to be conducted from May 11 to May 31, 2026, at various test centers across the country and abroad.
Understanding the Scribe Facility
The scribe facility is a support service extended by the NTA to candidates with benchmark disabilities. This provision is designed for applicants who have a disability of 40 percent or more, or those who face significant difficulty in writing. Under this arrangement, a scribe is assigned to read out the questions and write the answers on behalf of the candidate. This ensures that differently-abled candidates get a fair opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills during the examination without any hindrance.
Step-by-Step Process to Submit Scribe Details
Candidates can register their scribe information by following the procedure outlined below. The process has been kept simple and user-friendly so that applicants can complete it without any technical difficulties.
- Visit the dedicated scribe portal, accessible through the official notice published on the NTA website.
- Log in using the application number and password provided at the time of registration.
- On the home page, click on the ‘Register Scribe Details’ button. This option will be visible only to those candidates who have opted for a scribe of their own choice and wish to provide those details during the Exam City Intimation process.
- Select the scribe option and enter the necessary details as required.
- Once the details are submitted successfully, they will appear on the left side of the candidate’s home page under the ‘View Application Form’ link, as well as on the confirmation page.
Important Points to Remember
Candidates are advised to carefully review all the information before submitting the scribe details, as any discrepancy may lead to complications later. It is essential to ensure that the scribe’s particulars match the official records and that all mandatory fields are filled correctly.
Applicants who have already selected a scribe during the application phase and those who are still in the process of finalizing their choice should complete the submission within the stipulated deadline. Missing the cutoff date may result in the scribe facility not being provided during the examination.
The NTA has also made arrangements for candidates who may face any issues while submitting the details. For assistance, candidates can reach out to the helpline number 011-40759000 or send an email to the official support address mentioned in the notification.
Stay Updated with Official Announcements
All candidates are strongly encouraged to regularly check the official NTA website for the latest updates and announcements regarding the CUET UG 2026 examination. The agency periodically releases important notices related to admit cards, exam city intimation, and other procedural matters. Staying informed will help candidates avoid last-minute confusion and ensure a smooth examination experience.
It is also advisable to keep the application number and other login credentials handy at all times, as they will be required for various steps throughout the examination process. Candidates should also verify their registered mobile number and email address to receive timely alerts and important communications from the testing agency.
The scribe facility is a significant step toward making the examination process more inclusive and accessible. Eligible candidates are urged to take full advantage of this provision and complete the necessary formalities well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute rush or technical issues.
