Rule on grace marks for NSS, NSC students by next session, says Vinod Tawde

Students who are members of the NSS and NSC may get to know how many grace marks out of 10 the university had awarded them in exams by next March or by the next session of the state legislature.

The issue was raised in the upper house on Tuesday. Sanjay Dutt asked why unlike in other universities, students of University of Mumbai were not being given grace marks which they are entitled to.

Replying to the question, Ravindra Waikar, minister of state for education, said that marks were being awarded, but since Mumbai University had the grading system, grace marks were not available separately.

Members of the House were, however, not convinced. They said they had come to know that all members of the NSS and NSC were not being given grace marks, but only borderline cases were being awarded grace marks.

“Why don’t you call a meeting of students organisations and teachers associations and hear what they have to say on this,” asked Bhai Jagtap, another member of the council.

Vinod Tawde, minister of education, stated that the government would try and hold such a meeting. “The issue as such will be dealt with by the academic council. We are of the view that administrative and academic issues are different and we should not interfere in academic issues. We will arrange a meeting with organisations of students and teachers, and by March or in the next session come out with a rule on this issue,” he said.
