#Fair Assessment

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.

The Karnataka High Court has ruled that excluding home assignment marks from PUC internal assessments violates students' fundamental right to fair evaluation under Article 21. The judgment mandates KSEAB to award the full 10 marks per subject for assignments in English, Sanskrit, and Mathematics, setting a precedent for transparent and statutorily compliant internal evaluation across state boards.

The Bombay High Court Nagpur Bench ruled that changing a prescribed novel four weeks before exams, without giving students a chance to study it, violates procedural fairness and academic autonomy. Students must be allowed to choose between the old and new text for examination, ensuring equitable assessment and upholding the right to fair academic opportunity.
