Girl clears IIT but fails Class XII,High Court orders re-evaluation

“The respondent,with regard to the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case,i.e. the marks secured by her in practicals and the corresponding marks obtained in her theory exams,would recheck the papers of the petitioner by June 5,2013,” the court of Justice G S Sistani ordered.

“The results of the rechecking will be informed to the petitioner by email or any other swift mode” the court directed,after noting that delay in the results would affect her counselling session.

Kaur,who has been a high-ranking student at the Kulachi Hansraj Model School in Ashok Vihar,is due to attend counseling for IIT admission on June 7.

Kaur’s father Gurdeep Singh said the family approached the High Court after CBSE officials informed them that the application for revaluation or rechecking of papers would take at least a month. “She has to go for IIT counselling. With the incorrect results,she would be ineligible for an admission in IIT,” Gurdeep Singh said.

“Even my school teachers were in shock about my CBSE result. I have been a good student. I have studied both medical and non-medical streams in school,and obtained 8.9 CGPA in Class X,” Livleen told Newsline.

Livleen is also planning to take the AIIMS medical entrance exam this weekend,and has already taken the NEET All India Medical Entrance examinations.
