The results
of Delhi University's semester examination have come as a shock for several
students pursuing post-graduation courses, who scored considerably fewer marks
than expected.

Disappointed
with the bizarre evaluation, the students are now planning to file an RTI to
have a look at their answer sheets.
The students
of the first and third semester, who had appeared for their exams in February,
have flunked mainly in papers 101 and 103 and papers 301 and 302, respectively.
While the evaluation of these papers is
decentralised – with colleges keeping 55 marks for internal assessment and the
remaining 20 marks of the main exams also being under the colleges' control,
students alleged that teachers who had some grudge against the students had
unfairly taken it out through the results.
"Students
who fail have no recourse now either because the system of revaluation has been
scrapped. They can file RTIs where their answer scripts will be shown to them.
At least they can know where the discrepancy," said Naveen Gaur, professor
of Physics at Dayal Singh College.
