The petitioner appeared for the First Professional MBBS Examination conducted by the University of Calicut in August 2009. The petitioner failed in Physiology, Papers I and II. She has therefore applied for revaluation of her answer scripts by submitting Ext.P1 application. It is submitted that the requisite fee has also been paid. The petitioner submits that she had done well in the examination and that she is sure to secure a pass if her answer scripts are revalued. She also submits that without passing the first year examination, she cannot attend the second year classes of the MBBS course. 3. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, the learned standing counsel for the University of Calicut submits that the pass percentage for the First Professional MBBS Examination is below 61% in all the Medical Colleges affiliated to the University of Calicut taken W.P.(C).32784/09 2 together, that a large number of candidates are likely to seek revaluation, that the last date for submission of applications for revaluation is 18.11.2009 and that within eight weeks thereafter, the University will revalue the petitioner's answer scripts and communicate the result to her. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to take steps to have the petitioner's answer scripts described in Ext.P1 application revalued and to communicate the result to her expeditiously and in any event, within eight weeks from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations, University of Calicut.
