The Court on Wednesday also made it clear that the seat allotment shall be contingent on the final disposal of the petitions challenging the exam. Meanwhile, the GRC submitted its report, suggesting that the affected students be compensated with extra marks. It however cautioned that the rank of the candidates in the existing list should not be affected when the allotment list is redrawn after adding the compensatory marks.

The GRC was set up in view of the Supreme Court order issued on 25 May for effective redressal of the grievances put forth by scores of candidates who appeared for the exam this year. The Committee is chaired by former Kerala High Court Judge, Justice Hariharan Nair, and also comprises of Dr. Santhosh Kumar G., Professor and Head, Department of Computer Science, Cochin University of Science and Technology.
