Mangalore University may award grades to LLB repeaters

At present only those who complete their 5-year LLB course in the first attempt will be given classes (like first class, second class, etc). Those who clear their papers in repeat attempts get only ‘pass class’ in their marks cards.
The varsity Academic Council approved the amendments to the regulations governing 5-year LLB degree programme during its meeting held at Mangalagangothri on Wednesday.

Vice-Chancellor Prof K M Kaveriappa said the approved regulations would be sent for the Governor’s approval soon. Once the regulations get the Chancellor’s nod, the new system would be introduced, he added.
As per the existing clause, “...while declaring the class at the end of the 10th semester, the aggregate marks secured by the candidate in all the VII, VIII, IX and X semesters shall be considered provided he/she passes the first to 10th semester exams in the first attempt.” A meeting of the Board of Studies for Law held on September 14, had recommended that class could be declared “irrespective of the number of attempts”.
The Academic Council approved the draft regulations for the Centre for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy.
