For the first time in Gujarat, a student from Patan, Kuntilal Parmar, who had taken his Primary Teacher College (PTC) exams, has been granted permission to remain present while his answer sheets are being re-checked. Parmar had sought permission under the Right to Information (RTI) Act to remain present during the re-checking of his answer papers.

He was allowed to do so by state information commissioner (SIC) RN Das on Friday. Relevant oral orders were passed by SIC to GEB. The GEB holds certificate and diploma exams in subjects such as home science, PTC, physical education and a number of vocational courses.

However, to inject transparency in the entire process Das ordered that Parmar be allowed to be present while his answer sheets were being rechecked. The decision comes with a rider: SIC's orders were limited to re-checking, which involves only re-totalling of marks. The other aspect of exam rescrutiny - which is re-assessment of all answers provided by the examinee - has not been allowed.
