After the preliminary exam, candidates moved the Supreme Court against the Commission over 'ambiguous questions.'
According to the petition, for several questions, there were two or more possible answers. Therefore as it happens with examinees every time, many candidates were in a dilemma: answering a question with two possible answers can either give them full mark or incur a loss of the total mark along with penalty; in order to avoid negative marking majority choose not to answer thus making a loss of the total marks.
