SC Rejects Plea Seeking Correction Of Six Answers

A bench of Justice P. S. Narasimha and Justice Alok Aradhe rejected the petition filed by Kerala-based candidate Gayatri Arun, who sought corrections to six allegedly incorrect answers and the publication of a revised merit list before the counselling process.

According to a report by Bar and Bench, the petitioner claimed that the official answers to six Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology questions were inconsistent with the prescribed NCERT textbooks. She argued that even a single incorrect answer could significantly impact a candidate’s All India Rank (AIR) and requested that the disputed questions be referred to independent subject experts.
