The standardization of academic marks for undergraduate admissions is a policy matter to be determined by the government upon consideration of representations submitted by affected parties.

JUDGMENT

Heard Sri.K.Sudhinkumar, learned counsel for the petitioners as well as Smt.Sylaja S.L., learned Government Pleader.

2. The petitioners are the parents of the students, who have appeared for the Class XII examinations under the CBSE scheme. The petitioners point out that when their wards seek admission to the decree courses, there is no standardization/normalization of the marks with reference to the marks awarded across the different Boards, as is provided in the admission to the professional courses. In such circumstances, the petitioners have submitted Ext.P2 representation to the respondents herein pointing out the requirement for standardization/normalization of the marks while providing for admission to the under graduate courses.

3. In my opinion, it is for the Government to consider the afore representation and pass appropriate orders.

4. Therefore, this writ petition would stand disposed of, directing the 1^st respondent herein to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
