The National Testing Agency, or NTA, has published a notice outlining the requirements for individuals with disabilities (PwD) and those with benchmark disabilities (PwBD) who wish to take the Joint Entrance Examination.
The prerequisites for people with benchmark disabilities (PwBD) and people with disabilities (PwD) who want to take the Joint Entrance Examination, or JEE Mains 2025 exam, have been issued by the National Testing Agency, or NTA. This comes after NTA received multiple inquiries regarding scribe and compensatory time for these pupils.
The three-hour JEE Mains 2025 exam will include an hour of compensatory time for applicants who are PwD or PwBD, per the rules. In other words, these applicants might need up to four hours to complete the paper. The services of a scribe will be rendered upon the presentation of the required credentials.
As per the NTA notice, “The National Testing Agency has been receiving several inquiries on issues related to scribe and compensatory time for PwD/PwBD candidates. The guidelines which will be followed for JEE Main with reference to relevant extracts of Government Notification and Office Memorandums are enumerated below.”
Additionally, the notice calls for the usage of “compensatory time” in place of the current phrase “extra time or additional time.” The exam should take at least 20 minutes each hour for individuals who are allowed to use scribes, readers, or lab assistants. All PwBD candidates who are eligible for the facility may be given an additional hour or more for the three-hour exam, regardless of whether they use it or not. The additional time should not be less than five minutes, but should be in the multiple of five.
