The services of a scribe (amanuensis) are available to those with a disability in the upper limbs or who have lost fingers/hands, thereby preventing them from operating the computer for the exam.

• To avail of this service, you should select the option in the online registration portal and upload a copy of the PwD certificate (Appendix 4-7) at the time of online registration for UCEED 2024.
• If a PwD candidate wants to avail of compensatory time (maximum of one hour), the same request should be mentioned while filling out the registration form. PwD certificate will be uploaded along with such requests (Appendix 8 & 9).
• The UCEED-CEED Implementation Committee 2024 will assess the request along with the supporting document, and if found eligible, you will be notified post-scrutiny.
• Suppose it is found that you have used the services of a scribe and compensatory time but do not possess the extent of disability that warrants the use of a writer and compensatory time. In that case, they will be excluded from the evaluation, ranking and admission process. If you have already been admitted,/her admission will be cancelled.

• Part B contains only one question, which will be manually evaluated through the sheet provided by the invigilator, irrespective of it being marked online.
• Marks obtained in Part A will be used to shortlist candidates. The cut-offs for Part A marks for shortlisting candidates in the Open category will be X + yΣ, where X is the average marks obtained by all candidates in Part A, Σ is the standard deviation, and y is calculated as one of the total numbers of the seats.
• The evaluation of Part B will be done manually by two evaluators independently.
•  If the difference <= 12 marks (20%), a simple average of the two examiners will be considered.
•  If the difference is > 12 marks (20%), the answer sheet part Brt-B will be evaluated by a third examiner (and so on until the difference <= 20%).
• A simple average of the closest of 2 evaluators will be selected as the final marks.
• The total UCEED score will be calculated by adding the marks obtained in Parts A and B. This total score will be used to prepare the final result.
• UCEED 2024 Question Paper and Draft Answer Key (Part A) will be released on the UCEED website. 
• Candidates can check the draft answer key and compare their answers to know the correct answers.
