The examination system in universities and other higher education institutions will be remodeled under an initiative of the Higher Education Ministry to ensure more transparency and avoid flaws in the system of correcting answer scripts.

Students themselves will be given an opportunity to peruse their corrected answer scripts so that they could satisfy themselves that there had been no mistakes in the marking system.

Under the earlier system the answer scripts were given to the lecturer for marking by the Department concerned and the lecturer after marking the papers returned them to the Department.

If there had been any inadvertence on the part of the lecturer, the students did not have an opportunity to get it corrected under the earlier system.
