📋 What Is Rechecking in Government Exams?
Rechecking (or re-evaluation) is the process where:
- Your answer sheet is re-verified for totaling errors.
- In some cases, answers are re-evaluated to ensure fair marking.
- Only allowed in selected exams.
It is not allowed in all government exams, especially objective-type exams (like CBTs), but common in descriptive-type exams.
