Fill and sign the Annexure-B undertaking, in which you declare your scribe’s name and educational qualification. Your scribe’s qualification cannot be higher than your own.
Scan the originals of every document listed in Annexure-C and email them together to scribe.sssb@gmail.com on or before 28.09.2026, 5:00 PM. You do not have to go to the Board office or submit anything by hand.

Note: Emails received after 28.09.2026, or sent to any email ID other than scribe.sssb@gmail.com, will not be considered at all. Candidates who ask for a scribe on the spot at the examination centre will not be given the facility.
