Answer Sheets Also Under RTI Ambit, MP Info Panel Brings All Universities Liable in Matter
News 18In an important verdict for the students, Madhya Pradesh State Information Commission has ordered all the universities including private ones to offer certified copies of the answer sheets to the desiring students under the Right to Information Act. MPSIC information commissioner Rahul Singh, while delivering the verdict, said that only section 8 allows the organisation to deny information under the act but offering copies of answer sheets don’t violate any norm. All the private universities which receive government aid or have received subsidised land from the government also fall in the ambit, said the SIC in the order, adding any student concerned could draw the desired information from the private university which doesn’t receive government aid by presenting an application before the Private Universities Regulatory Commission, under section 2 of the act. Underlining the importance of the order, Singh speaking to News18.com said that answer sheets are crucial for the educational future of the students and the order will also fix the responsibilities of the evaluators.
