The Madras high court has directed the selection committee of the Directorate of Medical Education to furnish the questions, key answers and answer scripts of examination conducted for admission to medical course to a student while deciding a petition filed by the student who suspected that the evaluation in her case was wrong.
The court has said the selection committee of the Directorate of Medical Education cannot refuse to furnish the questions, key answers and answer scripts of examinations after the entrance exam is over.
