Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) has two different policies for grace marks – one for BEd course and other for the rest. This came to fore when students requiring one marks to clear BEd second semester exams reached the university on Thursday seeking benefit of grace policy but were returned blank. “There is no provision for grace marks in BEd course,” said vice chancellor Dr Narendra Dhakad. He stated that all courses, barring BEd course, have provision for grace marks. Minimum one grace mark is granted to students in all courses, except BEd course by the DAVV.
A DAVV officer claimed that all universities in the state, barring DAVV, grant one grace mark to students requiring the same. However, the vice chancellor rubbished the claim. “No university in the state grants grace marks to BEd students. There is a uniform policy across the state,” Dhakad said. However, he stated that BEd students should also be granted the benefit of grace marks. “We will push a proposal for the same in the next coordination committee (apex body of higher education in the state) meeting,” he added.
