An Overview of the Revaluation Process

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

The process of revaluation is inclusive of correcting and marking answer scripts again while rechecking refers to the totalling up of marks received to avoid calculation-based errors. This system was done away with in 2013 on the premise that answer scripts are jointly invigilated, but it was again reinforced following protests. Since then, DU has introduced a restriction that only theory papers of non-professional courses can be sent for revaluation.

To apply for revaluation, the student should fill the application form available on the DU website and should submit it to the nearest centre within two to three weeks after the declaration of the result. For revaluation, a fee of INR 1,000 is required to be submitted along with a copy of the candidate’s recent scorecard. The application form should be verified and attested by the Principal or Head of the Department. An extremely pertinent point to remember in the entire process is that the student will have to surrender his/her original marks and accept the revised result.

The revised result can be any of the following – an increase in the mark, a decrease, or no change. Therefore, a student should apply for revaluation only if he/she has reasons to believe that his/ her marks are less than expected. It should be kept in mind that rechecking is a strenuous process which should not be taken as lightly as it is by students. A paper shuffles from one examiner to the head invigilator, and so on. Students should consult their friends and teachers before sending the application.

Once the application form has been filled by the student, it should be submitted to the nearest Revaluation Cell Counter. The counter can be found in the Examination Branches of both campuses. The updated result will be published on the DU website under the results portal after four to five months. It usually comes in right before the next semester’s result. The entire procedure and rules are described on the Delhi University website and should be browsed well to avoid errors.
