New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Friday issued notice to Delhi University (DU) and St. Stephens college for giving a zero mark to a student in her internal assessment.
Justice Geeta Mittal issued the notice asking the college why no marks were given to Tanwi Gupta, a first year student of B.A. honours History.
According to Gupta, who is a international tennis player, zero mark in the her internal assessment barred her from taking admission to the second year.
Gupta, in her petition, said that since she was busy practicing tennis she could not attend all the classes, but other classmates “were given marks”.
Gupta fell two marks short to qualify for admission to the second year.
The court asked the college to take her entire examination record to the Examination Controller of DU Oct 26 and file a status report by Nov 5, the next date of hearing.
