February 02, 2019:
The Madras High Court has held that the system of negative marking in the competitive examination has to be done away with, in as much as the same perforce requires reconsideration.
Justice R Mahadevan gave the ruling while disposing of the petition filed by S Nelson Prabhakar, a student.
The judge said the very system of awarding negative marks is improper and against principles of fairness, equality & equity.
Students, who take part in competitive examinations, come from different strata of society.
Those hailing from affluent families can afford to take private coaching and enhance their knowledge and techniques and the same cannot be expected from meritorious students coming from economically weaker background.
