19. Anita has enrolled for the P.G. Diploma in management offered by XPDMI
Institute affiliated to a University, which receives funds from the University
Grants Commission. The final examination for the students in their second
year is conducted by the University, even though the mid-term exams are the
responsibility of the Institute - which is a privately funded entity. The institute
has to submit all relevant records about the mid-term examinations to the
University. Anita wants to know about the norms laid down for evaluating the
answer sheets of one of her mid-term examination papers and submits an RTI
application to the Principal. The Management tells her that the Institute is a
private entity and is not bound by RTI Act, 2005.
A friend suggests that she should apply to the PIO of the University and that
there is a chance that she might get the relevant information. The friend also
suggests that she should first find out if the information she is looking for is
disclosed proactively by the University.
