Key questions remain unanswered in the controversy over the allegations that the authorities of Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit had awarded grace marks to a Student Federation of India (SFI) leader, who had failed in the final semester undergraduate exam, for winning first prize in a stage event in which the student had allegedly not participated.
The award of 10 grace marks enabled the student of B. A. Bharatanatyam programme at the Kalady main campus to clear the exam. A few members of the team, that won the first prize in the Malayalam skit competition in the University Union youth festival held from May 11 to 13, had lodged a complaint with the Vice Chancellor alleging that she was not part of the team.
