Revised UPCPMT 2007 Results Declared

Lucknow, June 21: The revised results of the Uttar Pradesh Combined Pre-Medical Test (CPMT) have been declared here today.

The results were declared by the Veer Bahadur Singh Poorvanchal University Vice-Chancellor Prof. K P Singh at a press conference."I take the entire responsibility for the errors in the CPMT results. But let me tell you, such errors are nor uncommon and were once detected even in the IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) entrance examination," Singh said in defence.


The re-evaluated results were different from the results announced earlier, Singh said.According to the list released Thursday, as many as 53,735 candidates have passed this time, against 15,088 earlier.

"The difference is attributable to feeding of wrong keys in the computers," said Misra, adding that revision of results had affected about 75 percent of the candidates.

About 80,000 candidates had appeared in the examination seeking admission in different medical colleges in the state, having a capacity of about 1,500 seats. These also included the aryurvedic and homeopathic institutions.

Significantly, Manvi Dua, who had topped the examination as per the earlier result, was now placed in the 20th position. Similarly, those who had figured among the top 20 in the previous result were now actually far down in the list.


The re-evaluation was conducted when medical aspirants stage violent protest after major irregularities came to the fore.

As part of an immediate damage control move, the state government promptly instituted a high-level probe into the alleged discrepancies in the results.

The trouble was sparked by the university's decision to do away with the established practice of releasing answer-sheets and detailed mark-sheets of all unsuccessful candidates.

Also, an alteration in the system of evaluation was stated to have created major anomalies in the results.
