Students of the LLB Semester-I program at Lucknow University protested against their exam results, which showed many students failing, with some receiving alarming scores in single digits. The results were initially declared, then rolled back, causing significant confusion and distress among the student body. In response to the protests, the university announced the adoption of the National Education Policy (NEP), which stipulates that no student will fail in their first semester. This change aims to alleviate the pressure on students and ensure a smoother academic transition. Student representatives voiced concerns over the evaluation process, claiming that answer sheets were graded under an outdated 70-mark format instead of the revised 90-mark system, leading to unexpectedly low scores. Additionally, students reported being issued year-backs and being compelled to pay for re-checks and back papers, which could adversely affect their cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and academic records. The Vice Chancellor emphasized that the new system would promote all LLB students from odd to even semesters, thereby reducing delays in the examination cycle and ensuring continuity in the academic session.
