A lecturer at Anna University, Chennai, India boosted scores of a student in one paper from 5 to 77 after  re-evaluation that seemed perfectly legal but exploited loopholes in rules.The answer sheet from the April/ May 2017 exam is part of evidence collected by directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption. directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption (DVAC), which has booked former controller of examinations G V Uma and nine others for taking money to rig answer sheets. Tens of thousands of students may have paid to pass, paid to pass, the investigators suspect. The university re-evaluation rules state that if the re-evaluation marks are 15 marks more than the original,  second re-evaluation is to be done. The marks obtained in the central evaluation, first re-evaluation and second re-evaluation are compared, and the ‘best’ among the two ‘most consistent marks’ is taken as the ‘true’ score. In this case, the student’s marks changed from 5 to 45 after the first re-evaluation, a change of 40 marks from the original. Since the difference in marks was more than 15, the paper was sent for a second re-evaluation as per rules. After the second re-evaluation, the student was given 77 marks. The case is being investigated.
