Right to View Answer Sheets

You can use RTI to view your checked exam answer sheets.

🗣️ What this means for you

If you suspect an error in your marks, you don't have to just accept the result. The Supreme Court has ruled that students have a fundamental right under the RTI Act to inspect and obtain copies of their evaluated answer sheets from examination boards (CBSE, State Boards, Universities).

Step-by-Step Action Plan

1

Step 1: File an RTI application addressed to the Public Information Officer (PIO) of your university/board.

2

Step 2: Clearly state your roll number, subject, and request a certified copy of the answer sheet.

3

Step 3: Pay the nominal RTI fee (usually Rs. 10) and document charges (usually Rs. 2 per page).

4

Step 4: The PIO must provide the copy within 30 days.

5

Step 5: If denied, file a First Appeal under the RTI Act.
