RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P (C) No. 20908 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioners who have undergone the BBM course from a college affiliated to the Kannur University, have filed this writ petition mainly challenging the Grading Guidelines issued by the University evidenced by Ext.P1. It is contended that the University has no right or authority to prescribe the Grading Guidelines and that as a result of the Grading Guidelines set out in Ext.P1, the percentage of marks secured by the petitioners stands considerably reduced. When this writ petition came up for hearing today, Sri.M.Sasindran, learned standing counsel appearing for the Kannur University submitted that if the petitioners approach the Controller of Examinations with a written request, requesting the Controller of Examinations to explain the manner in which Grading Guidelines are applied for calculating the percentage of marks, the Controller of Examinations will personally explain how applying the guidelines the grades are converted into percentage of marks. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that in the light of the aforesaid submission, the petitioners will approach the Controller of Examinations requesting him to explain how the Grading Guidelines W.P.(C) No.20908/2011 2 are applied for calculating the percentage of marks. I accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction that in the event of the petitioners moving the Controller of Examinations by filing a representation, the Controller of Examinations shall afford the petitioners an opportunity of being heard in the presence of each other and explain to them how the Grading Guidelines are applied for calculating the percentage of marks. This exercise shall be completed within two weeks from the date on which the petitioners file a representation accompanied by a copy of this judgment before the Controller of Examinations. P.N.
