Only 2 per cent students apply for revaluation after the semester exam of Delhi University. Interestingly, these students are not among those who have failed in the semester exam, but those who have scored comparatively less than the counterparts.

Complying with the order of the Supreme Court, the University this year is also prepared to give away the answer scripts of the candidates. The Examination Department of Delhi University says that it has stacked and pilled all answer scripts and if the students demand they will give it to the students.

Complying by the Supreme Court’s judgment, the examination department of Delhi University will give away answer scripts to students on demand. The University has gathered, compiled and stored all the answer scripts of students. This move of the university is also being looked upon as an attempt to condemn all allegations of the teachers who are alleging that the university is given unexceptionally high marks to the students.

“We had sent people from our department to collect the answer scripts from all the colleges. These answer scripts have then been arranged by the roll numbers and have been packed in boxes,” an official of the examination department said. The department has created a database of all the answer scripts and says that it will be able to make them available to the students in no time if they demand for it.

The students who want to see their marksheets can apply for the same within 61 to 75 days of the announcement of results on the university website. To see an answer script, the students will have to pay `750. “If the students point out any totalling error in the marksheets, they can approach the examination department with the same; the department will rectify the marks,” added the official. This will be the first time that the university will make answer scripts available to the students.

While some teachers of the university have been crying foul about the way the university has given marks to the students this year, the examination department feels that the students are happy with the result and the number of students applying for revaluation of the result has gone down tremendously.

“Unlike the other occasions when the revaluation rate was as high as 25 percent, this year only 2 per cent students have applied for revaluation,” the officer said. A total of 6,500 students appeared for BCom examination for four papers, of which the examination department has received a total of 153 applications for revaluation 115 applications have been submitted for revaluation in BCom programme and 250 for BSc Honours courses.
