CONTROLLER OF EXAMINATIONS
Date: 02-01-2014 To The Deans of Regional Offices/The Principals of the Affiliated Colleges/Deans of Constituent Colleges Sir/Madam, Sub: Office of COE Revaluation procedure Modifications Incorporated Reg. Wish you a happy and Prosperous New Year 2014! I thank you for your kind cooperation extended for the successful conduct of endsemester 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 15 marks 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,
