Article 14 & 21 | Compensatory Mark Mandated for Repeated MCQ in MBBS Exam to Prevent Procedural Prejudice : AP HC

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.
