Prayagraj: A common re-evaluation system has been implemented in all state universities, including Prof Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya) University and Uttar Pradesh Rajarshi Tandon Open University (UPRTOU) in Prayagraj.
Under this system, action would be taken against callous examiners and a notice would be served to an examiner if there is more than 20% change in score in the assessment of answer sheets evaluated by him/her. If more than three such instances are found in the same paper, then the full remuneration for evaluation will be withheld.
If there are more than five such cases, the examiner will be debarred for two years, and if 10 instances are found in same paper, then examiner would be debarred and an adverse entry made in personal statement book.
