M.P. Jain & S.N. Jain : Principles of Administrative Law (Paperback)

Description
The Supreme Court of India has stayed counselling in all IIT's whilst admitting a petition which challenged the award of bonus marks to all students against two incorrectly formulated questions, whether or not an examinee attempted them. The petitioner contended that such award of marks unfairly advantaged those who had not even attempted the questions and hence was arbitrary. Nearly 10 lakh students appeared for ITT (mains) exams in 2017, out of which 2 lakh students were shortlisted and 1 lakh 70 thousand appeared for the IIT (Advanced) exam. If the IIT's were to do what the petitioner was seeking, they would need to go through 1.70 lakhs answer scripts to firstly find out who has attempted the question? It would next have to determine what is considered as attempting? Will it be only candidates who completed the answer, albeit incorrectly or would it also include those who began answering the question but due to its incorrectness left it midway and those who read the question but passed it over because it did not make sense. Instead of opening this can of worms the administrators decided to award bonus marks to all the students who had appeared in the exam because any other course of action could have been chaotic.
