Is there another authority which checks on the marks before it reaches the LPQB for its endorsement?
The Director of the CLP Examination Mr. Muniandy Kannyappan:
There will be a meeting by a Committee of Examiners. This
Committee comprises the Director of the CLP examination, Moderator (who is a
Board Member) and the Chief Paper setter for each subject of the CLP
examination. This Committee performs an important function by combing through
the Master List, without the names of candidates, in detail and making
recommendations to the LPQB on the results.
This is an onerous duty to be performed by the members of the
Committee. The recommendation to pass a candidate is made in accordance with the
guidelines already set by the LPQB. The criterion for recommendation is always
the overall performance of the candidate in the whole examination. In this
regard the Committee is candid, open and transparent when they make the
recommendation. The premise of the recommendation is again to pass a candidate
if he or she deserves so after according due consideration to the overall
performance by the candidate.
It is iterated that when the Committee goes through the
results of each and every candidate, none of the Committee members including the
Director know who the candidates are as they are referred to only by their index
number. Thus the identity of the candidates is not revealed. So it is an
impossibility to manipulate the results. The recommendation by the Committee in
accordance with the guidelines has always been for a candidate to be given a
pass or a conditional pass and nothing less.
