These regulations are available on the  UGC  website  www.ugc.ac.in.  Further,  UGC  has  also  issued  a  Public  Notice  on 19.07.2018 instructing the Universities to bring out the guidelines for revaluation of the answer sheets detailing the procedure prescribed thereunder for the benefit of the larger students community impacted by such decision and in larger public interest involved in the matter.

Education,  being  a  subject  in  the  Concurrent  List  of  the  Constitution  and  a substantial majority of schools being under the jurisdiction of the State/Union Territory

Governments, it is for the respective State/Union Territory Government to perspective norms  in  this  regard  for  their  examination  Board.

Board develops Marking Scheme and the examiners are given 10-12 days time for evaluation. Detailed guidelines are issued by the Board every year for the evaluation Nodal Centres.

(c): The information received from the State Government of Chhattisgarh is placed at Annexure-I.

(d): The  State Government  of  Chhattisgarh  has  informed  that  totaling errors, valuation  errors  and  valuation  of  unvalued  portions  were  mainly  the  reasons  for  the change in results.
