BENGALURU: When the nursing students of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) got their exam results on Monday, many were taken aback. Reason: They got more than the maximum marks of 300!
The second-semester BSc nursing exam was held in Jan this year. “It was funny. Two students in my class got marks like 310 and 315 out of 300,” said a student.
The issue was soon raised with the university, which withheld the results and announced corrected versions later.“While a student had 275 marks, it dropped to 227 overnight. The grade had thankfully remained the same. Nevertheless, it was a big disappointment,” said a parent.
As per the evaluation section, the university had mistakenly added some internal assessment marks to the final score. “Marks of a subsidiary subject, which were not supposed to be part of the final tally, were added inadvertently. The grand total for students who had otherwise scored good marks was therefore more than the maximum marks. As soon as this was brought to our notice, the marks cards were withdrawn and corrected. New marks have been issued. I had a meeting with all college principals and ensured it’s updated everywhere,” said RGUHS registrar (evaluation) Riyaz Basha.
He, however, added that all students who have passed continue to remain passed and those who have failed have failed. “The grand total reduces but the final output of the results remains the same,” he said.
“This is the first time that we are moving from an annual system to a semester system. So there were some changes. Some parameters were not reflected in the marks for some students. That has also been corrected,” he said.
