New Delhi: Students from Andhra Pradesh said Tuesday their future has been put in jeopardy as Delhi University colleges have shut their doors to them despite an extension in the date of admission following confusion over the eligibility criteria applicable to them.
The Board of Intermediate Education of Andhra Pradesh had announced results through a grading system ¿ CGPA ¿ out of 10 points. The mark-sheet mandated that the score achieved by students be multiplied by 10 to see whether they make it pass the cut-off marks. But this formula led to confusion as some DU colleges multiplied the CGPA score by 9.6 and some by 10. Also, the Board later wrote to DU, requesting it to consider actual marks of students, instead of grades, and cancel the admission given on the basis of grades. Some students, who had taken admission into Shri Ram College of Commerce on the basis of their grades, claimed they were being asked to pay the cancellation fee despite it not being their fault.
