Allahabad High Court Demands Rationale for 85% Thesis Score Cap After Student Loses 36 Grade Points

Justice Vinod Divakar directs university to justify policy that truncated a 97% thesis evaluation in the online grading system.

The Allahabad High Court has formally taken up a challenge to the University of Allahabad’s grading architecture after accepting a petition contesting an automated ceiling on thesis evaluations. A bench led by Justice Vinod Divakar issued an order on July 18 directing the institution to explain the legal and academic basis for capping thesis scores at 85% for students enrolled through affiliated private colleges [2]. The court has accepted the matter for consideration and requires the university to clarify the validity of this restriction before further proceedings [1]. This judicial intervention places administrative grading protocols under direct scrutiny, treating a software parameter as a reviewable administrative action rather than a mere technical constraint.
