It claimed that the results published on April 4 contained "numerous errors and major inconsistencies".
According to the rules of admission test published by the Department of Health Education on February 8, if a candidate participates in the admission test for the second time while being enrolled in a medical college, 7.5 marks will be deducted from his total marks. If a candidate appears in the admission test after a delay of one year after passing the HSC exam, 5 marks will be deducted.
