Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu has advised the HRD Minister Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank to issue an advisory to Boards of Higher Secondary Education or Intermediate of all States to follow a uniform pattern of providing marks to facilitate admissions into Central Universities.

Mr Naidu said boards which issue the results in grades must also simultaneously provide marks so that the percentage obtained by the students could be calculated by the respective universities.

The Vice President today called the HRD Minister to his chamber in the Rajya Sabha and discussed the problem being faced by the students from Andhra Pradesh in seeking admission to Delhi University.

The Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh introduced a grading system for Intermediate first year students in the academic year 2017-18 and continued the same pattern for second-year students from 2018-19. Under the grading method, the students were provided with grade points for each subject. However, the admissions to Delhi University are based on marks percentage.
