The intervention of Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu into the issue of AP students being unable to apply for institutions under Delhi University (DU) has brought relief to the aspirants on Tuesday. Following the discussions with the Vice-President, DU authorities have sent emails and SMSes to all the students from AP to download the marks from State’s Intermediate Board and upload them while applying for admission in DU. Mr. Venkaiah Naidu also discussed the issue with DU Vice-Chancellor (VC), Yogesh Kumar Tyagi and Dean, Students Welfare, Rajeev Gupta. The Vice-Chancellor also assured that the interests of the students would be protected and admissions would be based on marks percentage and not on grades and CGPA. While the Board of Intermediate Education, AP, uses a grading method, DU applications seek percentage of marks obtained.
