If the answer sheet has not been collected as stack, the secretary can order that the copy of the document be arranged.

A spokesperson of the board said the decision had been taken on the recommendations of a committee constituted by the board on the directions of the high court.

He said a copy of the answer sheet would be provided to the examinee within three days after a request is received.

If the answer sheet is in the process of re-evaluation, as applied by the examinee and is not satisfied with the same, he can apply for the document’s photocopy within 15 days of the re-evaluation along with the prescribed fee.
