Education & Examination Litigation
Education and examination litigation concerns admissions, examinations, results and recruitment examinations. These matters are usually time-sensitive, because academic sessions and selection processes move on quickly.
Matters handled
- Admissions
- Disputes over eligibility, merit lists, counselling, reservation and domicile in professional and university courses.
- Examination results
- Challenges to evaluation errors and answer keys. Courts permit re-evaluation only where the rules allow it, as the Supreme Court held in Ran Vijay Singh v. State of U.P. (2018).
- Recruitment examinations
- Disputes in examinations held by public service commissions and recruitment boards.
- Fees and regulation
- Fee regulation and the regulatory approvals of institutions.
- Student discipline
- Expulsion, rustication and withholding of results or degrees.
