Showing contexts for: multiple choice in Rajkamal Basitha S/O Jagdish Prasad ... vs Rajasthan High Court on 21 February, 2022Matching Fragments
14. The report of the special committee deals with several representations received from different candidates. In relation to each question the committee has given its precise reasons for accepting or not accepting the representation. We need to focus only on seven disputed questions. The report of the committee contains the question, the multiple choice answers given in the question papers as also its reasons for either deleting or retaining the question. In that view of the matter we would reproduced the relevant portion of the report of the committee which contains all these details:-
18. In addition to this restraint advised by the Supreme Court, independently also having examined the relevant questions, the multiple choices printed in the question papers and the recommendations of the specially constituted committee for either deletion or retention of the question, we find that in every instance, the committee has examined the position correctly and where ever it was found that either the question was ambiguous or the multiple choices in the question papers did not present one and only one clear cut answer which was correct, recommendation was made for deleting such questions.

31. The second aspect is that the examination committee was forced to delete as many as six questions. When the examination committee invites suggestions and objections from the candidates, multiple suggestions are bound to be received. However the instances where the examination committee is forced to change the correct answer and more importantly forced to delete the question has to be kept to the minimum. When we refer to the examination committee and similar bodies as expert bodies least that the Court can expect is that such bodies do not commit multiple errors in setting up question papers which eventually force them to delete several questions. The question itself and the multiple choices presented in the question must be so clear as to permit no ambiguity. Not only the question but the choices presented must have one and only one clear cut answer possible.
