Plea in High Court against Delhi University cut-off system for state board students
FirstpostDelhi High Court on Friday sought the responses of Delhi University and Kerala government on a plea claiming that each college in the capital had different criteria for calculating cut-off marks of students from other state boards during the admission process. New Delhi: Delhi High Court on Friday sought the responses of Delhi University and Kerala government on a plea claiming that each college in the capital had different criteria for calculating cut-off marks of students from other state boards during the admission process. Under the CBSE pattern of exams, there is 70:30 ratio of theory and practical, while in Kerala State Education Board “the evaluation system is that 20 per cent will be given for internal assessment, 20 per cent for practical and 60 per cent for theory/written exam”, the petition said. It also said “there is no uniform system of admission in Delhi University and there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding with regard to calculation of cut-off marks, especially regarding students from other state boards.” The petition, also signed by a DU alumni - Thufail, has termed as “highly discriminatory” that three DU colleges, following the same system, calculated Ahammad’s marks “in a totally different manner”. The petition sought directions to DU and its colleges to “consider 80 per cent of the total marks for theory component, including practical, and not to deduct any marks in the name of continuous assessment in the case of students who have passed out from Kerala Higher Secondary Board”.
