University Grants Commission (UGC) has been noticed by the Delhi High court on a PIL\u00a0filed by two students that wrong evaluation of UGC-Net Examinations held in December 2012 led to lowering of their marks and denial of UGC-NET qualification to them.<\/p>\n
Justice GS Sistani issued notices to UGC and asked them to file their reply within four weeks and fixed July 12 as the next date of hearing.<\/p>\n
The petition, filed by Shruti Jain and Amandeep Kaur through their advocate Ashok Agarwal, said that answer key of English Paper-II wrongly acknowledged option A instead of option B as the correct answer to question number 29.<\/p>\n
According to the students, the correct answer is option B, which is backed by assertions of senior professors from several Universities and over a dozen books and web-sources.<\/p>\n
‘The action on part of the UGC in denying UGC-NET qualification to the petitioners is illegal, unjustified, arbitrary, discriminatory, unreasonable, unconstitutional and violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India,’ Mr Agarwal contended.<\/p>\n
Both the petitioners who hail from Tehsil Malout District Muktsar-Punjab contended that the UGC should conduct a re-evaluation and allow them a chance to qualify the examination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
