Delhi University To Allow Re-evaluation OF Exam Answer Papers Of Law Students
The students need to pay a fee of Rs. 1,000 per paper for re-evaluation and Rs. 750 for rechecking
NEW DELHI: The Delhi University (DU) has decided to allow its law students to apply for re-evaluation of their answer sheets, according to university officials.
This option is expected to roll out for LLB students next academic year and will later extend to the students of management and medicine and other professional courses.
At present, the re-evaluation facility is available for most other undergraduate and postgraduate courses at DU.
The change will ensure that students have the option of re-evaluation of their answer papers if they feel their answers were not properly assessed, a DU official said.
The Faculty of Law at DU, which comprises more than 10,000 students, will be the first to benefit from the facility.
The DU charges Rs. 1,000 per paper for re-evaluation and Rs. 750 per paper for rechecking, which involves recounting marks without re-evaluating the answers.
Students are charged Rs. 1,000 per paper for obtaining copies of answer sheets. These charges apply across all courses and are subject to periodic revisions, says the official website of the university.
Officials say that the decision will not only benefit the students but also ensure more accountability in the evaluation process.
The university has plans to release detailed guidelines on re-evaluation for law students soon, followed by similar provisions for students of management and medicine courses.
