Save University Campaign committee had approached Governor against Vice Chancellor’s order
Calicut University Vice Chancellor M.K. Jayaraj has frozen an order that proposed to give up to 20 as moderation marks to help pass 2014 batch B. Tech students who failed in their exams.
Mr. Jayaraj told The Hindu on Tuesday that the order was based on the precedence of giving moderation marks for the 2004 and 2009 batches. Some people had petitioned the university highlighting the previous incidents. However, the authorities later came to know that the 2014 batch students had time till 2022 to write supplementary exams, he said. “I have sought clarification on this,” he added.
The decision to grant moderation marks had kicked up a row with the Thiruvananthapuram-based Save University Campaign committee approaching Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, the Chancellor, against it. They pointed out that the recommendations made by the Dean (Faculty of Engineering) and the sanction granted by the Vice Chancellor were akin to mark donation and against university rules.
