Nagpur University to replace revaluation with scanned answer sheet copies
RTMNU will give students scanned copies of their answer sheets instead of the old revaluation process, starting with a trial in LLB and some other courses.
Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University is set to scrap its old revaluation system. In its place, students will be given a scanned copy of their own answer sheet directly, so they can see for themselves how their paper was checked.
Vice Chancellor Dr Manali Kshirsagar shared this at the Senate meeting held on Monday at Jamnalal Bajaj Administrative Building. The meeting had originally been scheduled for September 9 but was postponed. The issue of exam results not being declared on time was raised strongly at the meeting.
Senate member Dr Ajay Chavan raised the question, through a resolution, of why results of re-examinations do not come out on time. Other members supported him. The Vice Chancellor responded that the new method would be tried out this year itself in a few streams including LLB, and that the university is working to fully discontinue the revaluation process by the Summer-2027 examinations.
She clarified that starting with the Winter-2026 examinations, the scheme will first be implemented on a trial basis for LLB and some other streams. Along with this, accountability will be fixed for the examiners who check answer sheets, so that there is no negligence in checking.
If a student, after seeing the scanned copy, believes their answer sheet was not checked properly, they will be able to take the matter to the university's grievance redressal committee. The committee will examine the complaint and take a decision on it. The university expects that this new system will reduce the time taken in revaluation and significantly ease the problem of delayed results.
Another important issue came up at the meeting. Senate member Dr Ajay Chavan proposed that if a student's marks increase after revaluation, their application fee should be refunded. Another member, Vishnu Changde, suggested that the revaluation form should require students to fill in their bank account details, making it easier to refund the fee when marks increase.
Vice Chancellor Dr Manali Kshirsagar agreed with this suggestion, saying that if marks increase after revaluation, students should certainly get their fee back. She also acknowledged that the revaluation application form should include a facility for students to enter their mobile number.
