HYDERABAD: The Telangana Junior Doctors Association (T-JUDA) has urged Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) to conduct a comprehensive audit of postgraduate examination evaluation, citing concerns over disparities in theory and practical marks, moderation and final results.
T-JUDA president Dr Ganganolla Vikram, general secretary Dr Narahari Chandrakanth Reddy and chairperson Dr Bingi Sai Chandan called for a systematic review of examiner-wise and subject-wise marking patterns, failure rates and cases where students’ theory and practical performance differed significantly.
Dr Reddy said the association had submitted a representation seeking limited grace marks, recounting and a transparent revaluation mechanism for eligible PG 2023 batch candidates who narrowly missed the qualifying marks. It also sought scrutiny of marks before and after final correction or moderation, along with practical marks awarded by different examiners.
He also referred to the Gandhi paediatric examination issue, where an inquiry has been ordered after 15 students who cleared the theory exams and failed in the practical examination. The association said recurring complaints across examination cycles required systemic correction rather than being treated as isolated cases.
Dr Chandan said an audit should result in aggregate, anonymised findings while protecting the confidentiality of students and examiners. The association called for timely responses to complaints and appropriate corrective or disciplinary action if enquiries establish procedural lapses or serious irregularities.
Among the other demands are revaluation of postgraduate theory answer scripts, independent second evaluation wherever warranted, and the use of validated technology- or AI-assisted tools for quality assurance, with qualified human examiners retaining academic oversight.
