Two experts will manually evaluate the UCEED Part B answers independently. The scheme of evaluation for the questions is as follows -
If the difference in marks awarded by the two evaluators is less than or equal to 10 marks, a simple average of the two evaluations will be considered.
If the difference is greater than 10 marks, the answer sheet of Part B will be examined by a third expert (and so on until the difference of marks is less than or equal to 10).
A simple average of the closest of two evaluations will be selected as the final score
If the difference in marks of the closest of two evaluations is greater than 10 after several evaluations, a moderator will be invited to examine the answers
If the difference in marks between the moderator and either of the examiners is the same, then the higher average will be considered to calculate the final score.
