Panjab University: Apply for Re-evaluation within 15 days now

Panjab University last week agreed to the proposal of reducing the time for applying result re-evaluation to 15 days from the release date of the exam result. An eight-member panel was set up by the Panjab University to arrive at a decision regarding re-evaluation period. The panel suggested that the cataloguing of answer sheets is a time-consuming process and it should be done by the officials itself.

The panel also recommended that examiners should not be allowed to carry the answer sheets for re-evaluation at their residence/ college/ departments. The answer sheets should be re-evaluated on the spot so that there is no delay in the release date of the result and everything is done in a proper manner.
