THE CENTRAL BOARD OF SECONDARY EDUCATION vs T.K. RANGARAJAN

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of grace marks awarded to students who took the NEET-UG 2018 examination in Tamil due to mistranslations in the question paper. The Court emphasized that the principle of uniformity in question papers across languages is essential to ensure fairness in evaluation, as established in Writ Petition (C) No.390 of 2017. The Court held that awarding grace marks based on translation errors creates an imbalance and undermines the integrity of the examination process, thus setting aside the High Court's order for grace marks.
