Re: [AI] problem in examinations:
You could always reproduce the answer sheets in your support. How bad your scribe has written for you. New Delhi: Examination answer sheets must be made public under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, the Supreme Court has ruled. This will be applicable to all examinations by public agencies in India, said lawyer Divya Jyoti Jaipuriar, who argued on behalf of two non-governmental organizations after a student who filed the case lost interest in sustaining the litigation. On Tuesday, a bench comprising justices R.V. Raveendran and A.K. Patnaik dismissed petitions filed by various public examination agencies while upholding a 2009 judgement of the Calcutta high court. The move will help make the education system more transparent and administrators more accountable, said Sobha Mishra, head of education at industry lobby Ficci. If someone sat for an exam, he should not be denied the right to see his answer paper once the result is out. No institute or exam-conducting body should ever resist such disclosure, she said. In 2007, Pritam Rooz, a student of University of Calcutta, filed an RTI application seeking the disclosure of his answer sheet. His request was denied due to university policy. He then approached the high court, where a single judge and a two-judge bench ruled that the university should release the answer sheets. The Central Board of Secondary Education, the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education, the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education, the University of Calcutta, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the West Bengal School Service Commission and the Assam Public Service Commission appealed against the high court's ruling in the apex court. Rooz, however, did not pursue the case in the Supreme Court. Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan, a society that had campaigned for transparency in the form of the RTI law, and Joint Operation for Social Help, a student help group, took on the case. Subsequently, other institutions that conduct tests also joined the case and opposed the disclosure of corrected answer sheets. They argued that evaluated answer sheets are not covered under information as defined in the RTI Act, and that releasing these papers will lead to a collapse of the system. The court noted that several universities that disclose corrected answer sheets on request haven't faced such a collapse. It also said it is the duty of public authorities to allow maximum disclosure as envisaged by the RTI Act nikhi...@livemint.com Post Comments Tags - Find More Articles On: - Original Message - From: Amit Bhatt misterbh...@gmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 11:06 PM Subject: Re: [AI] problem in examinations: Hello Vidhya, We understand your problems and the pain you are suffering with.

Re: [AI] problem in examinations:
hi, if this is the problem then i am having one suggestion. my many friends have studied and some are studying with the help of computer . in their school/universities they fought and get a right to take laptop in school/universities during examination or on daily basis also. now they give examinations on their laptops under the supervision of any computer teacher of school/universities . they have fought such that their schools ,universities and also goverment has to give them permission to use laptops in examinations . so i think that we should fight and bring this thing as an official law . i am a school student and facing the same problem. e-specially in maths . the writer/scribe sometimes doesn't understands what i mean to say and then he/she writes wrong thing and i lose marks although i know that answer and i am lade back in my rank in whole school just because of some mistakes of scribes. - Original Message - From: Dr. Vipin K.

That may be true, but what she is looking for at the moment is a practical solution like the one provided by Harish. Perhaps solutions like whom should she approach, whether she has any other options like approaching court etc. I am not good at any of those suggestions and I am sure that the list has enough of experts with experience who can assist her in this matter.

Does it mean that Science is not for Vi students? Why should I loose marks where I actualy should not loose? Can any one give me a selution for this?

Re: [AI] problem in examinations:
Hi Vidya Can you not consider using computer in your examination? I have been using computer from last 2 years or so, and I am sattisfied with its use. The great advantage of using computer is that one knows what he is writing. Further if you have good speed, then you can finish your paper in lessor time thus it gives you more scope to revise the answers. As far as your C questions are concerned, I am sure they can be well dealt using computer, and in the case of diagrams you always need to write the description of the diagram as we are exempted from making the picture. At least that is what the general scenario is. Even maths should be manageable. Good that your university at least works as per UGC rules and they pay attention to it. UGC's circular allows us to use computer during examination, of which you can take help here. If you need any assistance on that part, then feel free to write me on or off the list.

Re: [AI] problem in examinations:
I agree with Harish sir and Vetri. Courts and all can be used for laying down the guidelines or rather for implementation of anything, but here guidelines and things like that is not a major issue. We need to find the practical way in which we can deal with this problem. And again going through that root of court etc is a time-consuming job. -Original Message- From: Adhimoolam Vetrivel Murugan Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2011 12:30 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] problem in examinations: That may be true, but what she is looking for at the moment is a practical solution like the one provided by Harish.

Re: [AI] problem in examinations:
Hai Friends, I understand Ms Vidhya’s plight as I myself have faced such difficulties. I’m afraid whether this would help her but can be of some use for other students. Actually, Loyola College seeks the help of NGO’s and other volunteers, mostly government employees or educated housewife, for their mid-semester and end-semester exams. Sometimes, they would be from the same stream; but it had never made any difference, because one cannot expect them to remember their subject which they might have studied decades ago. So there is no question of doubting the VI students. Usually these volunteers are very good at reading and writing. This can be an option for the local institutions, schools and colleges, Instead of letting UGC decide. UGC can afford to monitor National level exams; it cannot follow-up the local exams. People who sit in air-conditioned rooms and regulate ruthless norms will seldom understand the ground-level problems. My personal experiences in writing exams with the scribers are mostly discouraging. Heres another example, that was during my plus 2/bord examination. The scribe, provided for me, had problems in hearing. The person’s hearing was not completely affected, so the person was able to hear most words correctly and most was guesses. The authorities first tried to help me out. But the next day, they turned the blaming finger towards me and said I haven’t prepared well for the exam so I conjured this funny idea to disrupt the exam. Then I was forced to accept to write with the same person throughout the exam. Later, I came to know that the scribe had met with an accident where the person’s hearing got affected and, the most unfortunate thing, the person had lost her daughter in the same accident. Of course, seeking the help of NGO’s is a good idea. We need disability resource centers at schools, colleges and universities or any institute who can see to the issues and leave us alone. We should not be wasting our valuable time in searching for eligible scribes while we could spend our time in preparing. As the eligibility criteria is itself at question in the nation wide exams, students should be allowed to bring scribe of their own.
