Taking a Re-Examination on Failing.

The normal procedure to be adopted in case of failure by a student is to reappear in all the papers of a that group in which he/she has not qualified.

However a student may be exempt from appearing in one or more papers of a group in the subsequent examinations, on account of having scored high marks (more than 60%) in the examination in which he/she was declared failed.

Exemptions on getting high marks

A candidate who obtains more than 60% of marks in any paper of the group in which he has appeared shall be exempted from appearing in that paper in the subsequent examinations.

The candidate is required to obtain a minimum of 40% in each paper and an aggregate of 50% in the total of the remaining subjects of the group in the subsequent examinations.

Example

An Attempt

Say a student has obtained the following marks in an examination

I - 65, II - 35, III - 30; IV – 40 ; Total = 170. [Aggregate < 50% → Fail]

Since the student has got marks 60% in Paper I and has also got the minimum required in other papers i.e. ≥ 25% in Papers II and III, he/she will be exempted from appearing in Paper I in the subsequent examinations.

In the next exam the candidate is required to appear only in papers II, III and IV and get a minimum of 40% and aggregate of 50% (total of 150) in the papers II,III and IV together.

Next Attempt

Say the student has obtained the following marks in the subsequent exam

1. Case 1
   The student may obtain marks required to pass the examination.
   II - 54, III – 58; IV – 45 Total = 157. [Aggregate ≥ 50% → Pass]
2. Case 2

The student may fail the examination but still obtain an exemption in one more papers additionally.

II - 30, III – 65; IV - 42 Total = 137. [Aggregate < 50% → Fail]

The student fails the examination. Here there is a scope for exemption in Paper III since the student obtained ≥ 60% and has got a minimum of 25% in the other papers.

In the next exam the student is required to appear only Papers II and IV and get a minimum of 50%.

3. Case 3

The student may fail the examination and not get any new exemptions.

II - 20, III – 65, IV – 15 Total = 100. [Aggregate < 50% and Failed in Paper II and IV → Fail]

Special Case » Failing after Getting an Aggregate ≥ 60%

Where a student who has appeared in all the papers of a group has failed in one paper but obtained a minimum of 60% of the total marks of the remaining subjects (not in each subject) shall be declared to have passed in that group if he secured 50% marks in that paper in which he failed in any subsequent examination.

An attempt

I - 55, II - 35, III - 72 Total = 162. [Aggregate > 50% → Fail]

Has got 60% in I and III together (i.e. the other subjects).

In the subsequent exams the student needs to appear only in paper II and get a minimum of 50% in it to pass in the group.

Claiming and Foregoing Exemptions

Exemptions on account of possessing other Qualifications

No such exemptions are available

Exemptions on Getting High Marks

To claim exemption on account of scoring high marks, a student has to mention the same in the application for examination at the time of making the application for the subsequent exams.

Since there is no reduction in fee for exempted subjects either on account of having other qualifications or on account of having scored high marks in prior examinations, care should be taken to ensure that the relevant columns are properly filled in the examination application.

Foregoing Exemptions

A student if he so desires can forego the exemption he has in a subject by mentioning the same in the application for examination, i.e. by ignoring the column where the details relevant to claiming exemptions are to be filled. The benefit once foregone cannot be availed in the subsequent attempts.
