Suscpicious about Indian DGCA air regs exam result
Was my first attempt at Air regs in november
Didnt make it unfortunately
Got 61/100
My suscpision is that the exam had 50 questions
Each question was worth 2 marks each . Therefore the total marks for the exam is 50*2=100 . The pass mark is min 70/100
Since it is an OMR sheet for each question you either receive 2 marks for the right answer or 0 marks for the wrong
If had gotten 20 questions wrong . That means i would have gotten
( 20*2=40 ) 100-40 = 60
If i had gotten 19 questions wrong , that means would have gotten
( 19*2=38 ) 100-38 = 62
Anyone care to explain how i managed to obtain 61/100

I assure you i double checked my markings and its circle shaped anyway not square 
However if i had marked only half that would have disqualified that answer and i would have received 0 marks

Not all questions are 2 marks each, some are 1, some 2 and some 3 marks each. So there you go, you can do the permutation and combination and I am sure you can come up with some sensible number of questions that you got right that equates to 61 marks.
Good luck next time.

In this times attempt the marking scheme was totally different
It was clearly mentioned in the question paper that there was 50 marks and each question was 2 marks each
Before attempting the paper i calculated that i have to get 16 or more questions wrong to fail (16*2=32) 100-32=68 . Hence i am quite sure that each question was 2 marks each
In the nav attempt there were 100 questions and each question was 1 mark each
Does anybody know if there is anything i can do about this ?

I'm in the same situation as Cyril. Got 53, which is an impossible mark seeing that each question carried 2 marks. Now I'm trying to get my answer sheet re-evaluated before Jan 10th, which is the deadline to apply for the next attempt. I so don't want to do the exam again

Check PM
You are eligible to give the dec special session for regs .
However the special session only takes place in delhi and should be the same location specified in the application form
They will however only take enough applicants as they can fit in the CEO office in RK puram . So send an application as soon as possible

I assume can still apply since the scheduled date has been postponed .
The previous dates were based on if the exams had taken place on its original date i.e oct24
Since the exam was postponed by one month the special session has also been postponed by one month
More over you have to know which subject you failed in order
to apply anyway
I suggest you send them an application and try your luck
Remember the exam takes place only in delhi and no other location

An Update
I called up the DGCA CEO office today...
I talked to Mr. Manoj Bajpai . He works at the CEO office .
I explained to him the situation and he patiently listened and gave me an answer...
He told me that after the exams they decided to
delete a few questions...
Hence it was not possible to allot 2 marks to each and every question since then they wont total 100 marks 
They then had to allot arbitrary marks to the remaining questions so that it would total 100 and thats how i managed to obtain an odd number as result
He told me that from the next attempt onwards all these issues will be sorted out .
I didnt bother to question or argue with him as to why they did this...
However he was quite polite and patient in his reply...
If anyone else would like to call him and discuss the same or would like to give him a nice blasting
You can call him on
26193706
He's not available between 1-3 pm in the afternoon
Dont forget to add the delhi code if you are calling from outside delhi...
Well back to the books again...

I got a short and sweet reply for it,
"The CEO receives objections raised by the candidates during examination and the same are evaluated by a team of experts. if the objections are valid then appropriate weightage is taken care by the computerized scanning system, which results in odd or even integer of marks depending upon the fractional weightage "
which pretty much resembles you i guess, cyril.

So what's the deal with this new "complete" results list for the Oct 2010 session? Serial number ends at 4363 this time rather than 3952 last time. They decided to fail 411 more people I guess. For a moment there I thought DGCA had actually decided to be fair and give us our real marks. Back to the books.....
