BENGALURU: When Bangalore University released the results of Bachelor of Commerce vocational, many students went bonkers seeing their provisional exam marksheet: They had got more marks than the ceiling fixed.
B.Com students had appeared for their semester exams in April/May 2021. Many students got more than 102 marks out of 100. For the theory paper, travel agency and tour operator organisation, 70 was the maximum mark for the written exam and 30 for the internal one. Many have been awarded with more than 72 marks.
“I was really surprised to see my result. In one subject, I got 102 out of 100 marks. I don’t understand why the university hadn’t checked before announcing the results. My marks in the other subjects are not so good, but many are awarded full marks. This needs to be rectified,” said a student of a private college.
Another student from a private college was awarded eight marks in corporate accounting, six in financial management, three in quantitative analysis and businesses decision and 72 in travel Agency and tour operator organization out of 70.
“The issue occurred because students did not read the instructions given in the question paper. There were two types of students taking the exam – regular and those who were attempting it as a one-time measure. Regular students following the CBCS (choice-based credit system) scheme had to answer only sections A, B and C and their exam was out of 70 marks. For others, it was 100 marks and they were supposed to answer sections A, B, C, D and E. Many regular students did not read the instructions and wrote all the sections. In digital evaluation, all the answered questions were checked and the students were awarded marks. So, some regular students who attempted all questions got more than the maximum marks,” said JT Devaraj, registrar (evaluation), Bangalore University.
“Now, it is a Herculean task for us to go back and check each student’s paper to understand whether they were to write the exam for 70 or 100 marks. We will get it all corrected. We checked with the Board of Examination chairperson on why it was the same question paper for both categories. We’re told that it was because the syllabus hadn’t changed,” he added.
When many students could not even cross a single digit in all the subjects, they secured more than the maximum number allotted in this paper.
