Next comes the
actions to be taken once the answer key is released. The students have to first
see what scores they are getting and then analyze the scores in the light of
the previous year cut offs and predicted cut offs for the current year to see

If a student is
sure and has proof that any question was wrong or any answer mentioned in the
answer key is wrong then the student can make a representation to the
University and the University will form an expert body to sit and decide on the
representations and if any question or answer is found erroneous then the
incorrect questions or answers will be rectified before the results.
