Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health and Science appearing for

respondent No.2. Perused the record.

3. Case of the petitioner is that despite having made adequate preparation for the examinations and being confident of her performance, she was declared unsuccessful in the MBBS Second Year examinations in the subjects of Pharmacology, Pathology and Microbiology. Being aggrieved by the said result and believing that her answer scripts were not properly evaluated, she submitted an application to respondent No.2 seeking revaluation of her answer scripts, but respondent No.2-University informed her that revaluation was not allowed and only recounting is permitted. Though she had submitted an application for recounting, her result was not changed. As such, she requested for personal verification of her answer scripts, however, respondent No.2-University informed her that the same was not permitted. It is her further case that she had submitted an application, dated 20.03.2026 to respondent No.2- University seeking revaluation of her answer scripts, but the same has not been acted upon by respondent No.2-University till date.

Aggrieved, the present writ petition is filed.

pertaining to the MBBS Second Year examinations in the subjects of Pharmacology, Pathology and Microbiology and also permit the petitioner to verify her answer scripts of MBBS Second Year examinations in the subjects of Pharmacology, Pathology and Microbiology personally, subject to payment of requisite fee for each

subject, as per the Rules.

5. On the other hand, learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.2 submits that as per the regulations of respondent No.2-University, there is no provision for revaluation of answer scripts and that only re-totalling of the marks is permissible, or in specific cases, a review of the answer scripts is permissible. He further submits that recounting of the petitioner’s answer scripts were already done and there was “no change” in the marks. He further submits that if the petitioner is still aggrieved by the result of the recounting, she is at liberty to approach the Grievance Committee of respondent No.2-University by submitting an application in the prescribed form along with the requisite fee. However, learned Standing Counsel reported no objection in directing respondent No.2 to re-verify the petitioner’s answer scripts relating to the MBBS Second Year examinations in the subjects of Pharmacology, Pathology and Microbio
