#Examination Disputes

Himachal Pradesh High Court reaffirms the presumption of correctness in answer keys, limiting judicial intervention to exceptional cases. Candidates challenging evaluation must overcome this presumption with substantive evidence, not mere assertions of error.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that repeated multiple-choice questions in a medical entrance exam violate the right to fair assessment under Articles 14 and 21, entitling affected candidates to one compensatory mark. This sets a critical precedent for exam authorities to rectify technical errors that arbitrarily limit scoring opportunities, ensuring no student is penalized for institutional negligence.
