The Percentage system for grading performance of students at JNU has generated a controversy with angry students launching a signature campaign on 19th Jan 06. Later the authorities said that they consider the matter at an academic council meeting. Rajinder Prasad, Rector of JNU said, We assured the students that we would consider their demands and have asked them to give us a written representation of their proposed solutions to this problem. The JNU administration had proposed a new formula for converting grades scored by students into percentage. But JNU students seeking admissions and employment outside began facing problems because of this system as their scope for appearing in any other exam or research work was limited, said a students union member. Earlier, a student getting B grade or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 5 on a scale of 9, was eligible for National Eligibility Test (NET). But as per the new formula, anyone getting Grade B or scoring 5 would get 52.5 percent, which is less than the minimum; criteria to appear for NET examination.
