No relief for architecture seat aspirants

BENGALURU:Aspirants for seats in Architecture courses who have appeared for the National Aptitude Test in Architecture (NATA) are still on the tenterhooks even after the re-valuation results were announced on Tuesday.

Several students who spoke to Express after the announcement of the results said their marks have not changed even after re-evaluation.  “We have paid for re-valuation and were told that we will get our  results in ten days. But the scores of many of us has not changed even after re-evaluation,” said a student. Another student who had signed an online petition  questioning the criteria used in evaluating the examination said that despite students raising their voice against the criteria, nothing has been changed.

The Council of Architecture, in a press release earlier this month, said they had decided to allow the candidates to “file review of scores awarded to them with a view to  ensure that no meritorious or deserving candidate is put to any  inconvenience or deprived of justice due to technical glitches if any.”
