to the evidence produced before him if the case calls for a Review Medical on merit. A case, 

in which competent medical opinion is produced to counter the findings of previous Medical 

Board, will normally merit a review. The Principal may arrange a Review Medical Board for reexamination 

of the candidate. If the Review Medical Board finds him fit for admission, the Principal 

will admit him to the School (if his rejection was only on account of lack of medical fitness). 

The School will charge a fee of Rs. 100/- (Rs. 50/- for SC & ST category) for holding the Review 

Medical Board. There is no provision for holding second Review Medical Board. 

Additional expenditure, if any, will be borne by the School. However, the candidate will be required
