Taking note of instances of violation of guidelines by the examiners on awarding marks in the clinical exams of MBBS course, the High Court of Karnataka has directed the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences to wake up to reality and take action against delinquent examiners.
“It is now time that the University wakes up to reality and proceeds to take action against delinquent examiners by blacklisting them, or by holding departmental proceedings so that this kind of malpractices do not recur, the court said while observing several instances of malpractice by the examiners affecting the future of students.
Justice P. Krishna Bhat passed the order while allowing two petitions filed by 4 th year MBBS students. The petitioners had complained that they were failed in clinical exams in two subjects due entering only the total marks awarded by the examiners in violation of the guidelines, which mandates all the four examiners to enter marks awarded by them separately in the booklet.
