Using Whitener, Eraser In OMR Sheet Will Amount To Disqualification
14 Aug 2019 02:30 pm
The Patna High Court dismissed a writ petition challenging the invalidation of OMR answer sheets on the account of use of whitener on them in the Bihar Elementary Teachers Eligibility Test, 2017.
The Respondent, Bihar School Examination Board, conducted the aforementioned teacher eligibility test following which a model answer key was released. On receiving objections to the answer key, the Board appointed a panel of experts to assess the objections and accordingly a revised answer key was published. Allegedly, objections were raised against the revised answer key as well.
The Petitioners, candidates who had appeared in the test, have alleged herein that:
the result of the eligibility test was declared without addressing the objections raised by them on the revised answer key;
the Board had reduced the maximum marks in the examination by excluding the marks in relation to the 4 wrong questions and answers in violation of Clause-6 & 7 of the guidelines issued by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). In alternative, it was also submitted that if the maximum marks for an examination are reduced, the minimum qualifying marks should also be reduced to the extent of wrong questions/answers. Reliance was placed on Akshey Lal Pandit & Ors. v. State of Bihar & Ors., 2011(3) PLJR 258
