Yes, RTI (Right to Information) can be used to obtain marks, evaluated answer sheets, and copies of OMR sheets of an exam in India. This is supported by multiple rulings, including: CBSE vs Aditya Bandopadhyay (2011, Supreme Court): The Court held that evaluated answer sheets are information under the RTI Act, and students have the right to access them. CIC Guidelines: The Central Information Commission has consistently directed public authorities (like UPSC, CBSE, universities) to provide: Marks obtained Model answers (if available) Evaluated answer sheets OMR answer sheets (for objective tests) How to apply: File the RTI to the Public Information Officer (PIO) of the concerned board, university, or exam authority. Mention exam name, roll number, date, and request specific documents. Pay the fee (₹10 application fee + ₹2 per page for copies). Time Limit: Information must be provided within 30 days of receiving the RTI application. Exceptions: RTI can be denied only if it falls under Section 8 of the RTI Act (e.g., invasion of privacy, security reasons), which usually does not apply to personal exam records. So, candidates have a legal right to access their evaluated answer sheets and marks through RTI.

Dear Client, Indeed a candidate has the right to ask public authorities such as government schools, universities and examination boards for their evaluated answer sheets and grades under the Right to Information Act of 2005. The Indian Supreme As a result a lot of institutions now have systems in place for exchanging grades, sample responses and even photocopies of assessed answer sheets upon request. The response must be provided within 30 days and the applicant must submit a formal RTI application frequently with a small fee. If disclosing information would compromise the integrity of the examination process there may be some exceptions under Section 8 but these are strictly construed when a student requests their own records.
