Karnataka II PU students will not get grace marks for Biology paper, even as they have claimed that several questions were out of syllabus.

“I have personally gone through each and every question and have checked it in the textbook. All questions are from the syllabus,” said PC Jaffer, PU board director. Jaffer read out a question and figured out the answer from the textbook in front of the media, showing that the students’ accusations were pointless.

“A committee was constituted and each and every question was checked. We haven’t gone beyond syllabus. We have received emails saying that question paper was very tough and one person emailed that if department gives grace marks, they would take us to court,” he said. 

PU director also warned miscreants against circulating fake question papers. “We have been monitoring the question paper movement through various ways. There is no chance that the question paper will get leaked. The department will book cases against miscreants spreading rumours about leak and will ensure action will be taken.”
