Shillong, Sep 6: The North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) will set up a committee to review the marking system.
“We were informed that a committee will be set up to look into our demand. The university will revert back to us within ten days,” NEHUSU finance secretary Mandor Swer Diengdoh said after organising a protest near the VC’s chamber on Wednesday.
Earlier, the NEHUSU had taken out a protest march from the Central Library to the Administration Block to express the collective discontent of the students against the unjust and outdated absolute marking system that is obliterating the careers of students.
NEHUSU members along with the students held a sit-in outside the VC’s chamber to demand implementation of a relative grading system that would improve the grades.
NEHUSU said they believe that low grades in NEHU is the product of the marking system that it follows which has nothing to do with one’s intelligence or academic excellence.
In a bid to rectify what they consider to be an unfair grading system, the NEHUSU also submitted a memorandum to Vice Chancellor Prabha Shankar Shukla in this regard.
