Sir/Madam,

Sub: Office of COE Revaluation procedure Modif ications Incorporated Reg.

Wish you a happy and Prosperous New Year 2014!

I thank you for your kind cooperation extended for the successful conduct of end-

semester examinations and for the conduct of central valuation.

After the publication of the results by the Office of the Controller of Examinations, the

procedure of revaluation is followed. In the revaluation system, the variation in valuation of

answer scripts is a common phenomenon. It is a known fact that even if the same examiner

values the answer scripts more than once, the variation will be there. When it comes to

different examiners, variation is likely to be more. However, if the variation is beyond 15marks between two examiners, it is considered as abnormal variation. When we analyzed the

variation between the first examiner and the revaluing examiner, we found that the variation

was very high, which is unacceptable. Also the present system invites criticism from

academics as well as from the society. To avoid such variation and criticism, it is necessary

to incorporate changes in our revaluation system. A committee was constituted in this regard

and it suggested the following revised revaluation procedure which is to be adopted from the

November/December 2013 onwards.

Revised procedure of Revaluation:

1. Candidates who wish to apply for revaluation should first apply for photocopy of

his/her answer script by paying Rs. 300 per script on or before the last date for

applying photocopy.

2. After receiving the photocopy, the student can verify the copy for any discrepancy

like total mistake and omission in the valuation.

3. If any discrepancy is noticed the same may be brought to the notice of the

Controller of Examinations for remedial action.

4. The valuation in the photocopy of the answer script can be verified by the subject

expert and if the expert is convinced that the script deserves higher marks than

awarded, he/she can recommend for applying revaluation.

5. The student can apply for revaluation by paying Rs. 400 towards revaluation fee on

or before the last date for applying revaluation.

6. Even after the revaluation, if the student is still not satisfied with the result, he/she

can opt for review of his/her answer script by paying the prescribed fee. The review

procedure will be intimated along with the revaluation result.

7. There is no change in the existing review procedure.

All are requested to cooperate for the success of the system.

Yours faithfully,

CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATIONS
