Selvam and Justice A.M.

Thereafter, allowing the petitions, the Court ruled, “We directed the 2nd respondent/ CBSE to grant 4 marks for each of the 49 erroneous questions, that is in all 196 marks to the candidates who took the MEET -2018-19 examination in Tamil medium.” CBSE has now been directed to publish a revised list of qualified candidates within two weeks, during which the counselling has been directed to be kept in abeyance.
