We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
2. This does create problems when applying for foreign university admissions where your 10 point CGPA will be judged against thousands of applicants from other universities. For that, I suggest:
- Come with a fair formula for converting marks on the 75% scale (that professors are still using) to a 95% scale.
- This is NOT academic fraud, it is called "moderation". Every secondary and higher secondary education board in the country (including ICSE and CBSE) does it to keep marks fairly consistent across batches regardless of difficulty of question papers.
- NUJS administration itself has "moderated" marks on multiple occasions. This is done especially if many students fail in a particular subject - say CPC or Contracts.
- This moderation has usually been done by the UG Council prior to publication of results. So ask for past UG Council minutes from the academic section. If they don't give it to you, you can RTI them.
3. Expanding on the last point, I don't know what the SJA is upto these days - but these kind of non-sensical decisions by the administration would not even be accepted/implemented if it was the past SJAs. The current system is not even UGC compliant. It is just a renamed 7 pointer scale where the numbers 1-7 have been changed to 4-10. Go through UG Council minutes, UGC Regulations, ask for Academic Council meeting minutes (I believe the new SJAs do not even have access to governing body minutes- it's the most thing to understanding what goes on in the University). If required, petition the Academic Council, file a writ. These administrative decisions won't even stand the basic rule of parity if brought before the High Court. Please, please, please, for duck's sake, STAND UP MORE ASSERTIVELY FOR YOUR RIGHTS!
