Most of the students this correspondent talked to expressed their satisfaction with the revised grading system.

But leaders of the Sadharan Chhatra Chhatra Sangram Parisad (SCCSP), a newly formed body floated by Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS) from behind the scene, are still demanding scrapping of the grading system and reversion to the previous 'class system' in examinations.

Some ICS leaders also expressed their displeasure at the revised system.

They have threatened to go for a tougher action programme if the grading system is not cancelled altogether. They termed it 'controversial'.

Some students however expressed their reservation, saying, meritorious student will still suffer as difference of marks between 'Grade A' and 'Grade A-' is 10.

In the revised grading system, marks between 60 and 69 will be grade 'A-', which will be considered as GPA 3.5.

Students of BBA Faculty have also demanded introduction of the grading system in their faculty. They have threatened to go for a movement soon for this.

The revised grading system is effective only for students of Science, Arts and Social Science faculties.

Zaber, a third year student of History Department said the new system is "more student oriented" but will not properly judge merit. The system should be as in developed countries so that our degrees are recognised outside, he said.

Mizanur Rahman, a third year student of Marketing Department said grading system only for three faculties is a step motherly attitude towards the BBA Faculty.

He demanded immediate introducing of a unified grading system for all faculties.

The university reopens today after 15 days' vacation for Durga Puja and Shab-e-Barat. Classes and examinations will be held as per scheduled earlier, sources said.
