BENGALURU: In a relief to a batch of medical and dental students, the high court has directed the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) to undertake revaluation of their answerscripts where the difference in evaluation marks is more than 15 per cent.

Justice Krishna S Dixit gave this direction while disposing of a batch of petitions filed by Dr Menaka Mohan and others.

In the case of under-graduate (UG) students, third valuation has to be done for those answerscripts wherein the difference in marks awarded by two evaluators is over 15 percent of the total marks prescribed for that subject, in terms of the June 15, 2012 ordinance. Fifth valuation is needed in case of post graduate (PG) students if the difference in marks given by four evaluators is 15 per cent or more. PG answerscripts are evaluated by four evaluators.

Four categories of failed students — medical PG students (May-June 2018), medical UG students (June-July 2018), dental PG students (May-June 2018) and dental UG students (June-July 2018) — had approached the court.
