SCRIBE ELIGIBILITY & RULES (Extracted from Official NIACL Notification): 1. Scribe Source: Candidate arranges own scribe at own cost/choice; indicate requirement in the online form. 2. Academic Stream: Any stream for Generalist discipline; for Specialist discipline, scribe's stream must differ from the specialist field applied for. 3. Non-Candidate Rule: Scribe must not be a candidate for the same exercise (any session); violation cancels both. 4. Non-Employee Rule: Scribe must not be a current NIACL employee. 5. Single-Use Rule: One scribe cannot serve more than one candidate. 6. Verification: Company may conduct Aadhaar verification of candidate/scribe; ineligible use of a scribe leads to disqualification/removal. 7.
