As students of Karnataka State Law University (KSLU), we have been enduring the consequences of an evaluation process that lacks consistency and fairness. This has caused significant anxiety and uncertainty for many, especially final-year students whose futures depend on timely results.

One of the major issues is the glaring discrepancy between initial exam results and revaluation outcomes. It is not uncommon for students who fail initially to pass after revaluation, with mark differences exceeding 20. Such wide variations leave us questioning the reliability of the entire evaluation process.

Another troubling concern is the lack of transparency. When students requested access to the scheme of evaluation, the university denied it, citing confidentiality. This response is both unjustifiable and disheartening. Knowing the basis on which our answers are assessed is a fundamental right and crucial for our academic growth.

Adding to the frustration is the case of marginal failures. Several students, myself included, have failed by just one mark, with the passing mark being 32. Losing six months to a year due to this minor shortfall has caused immense mental stress, financial strain, and delays in career or educational advancements.

In light of these grievances, we recently had the opportunity to meet the Hon’ble Governor of Karnataka. Advocate Shubhankar, Raksha, and I submitted a representation detailing these hardships. It was a discussion aimed at seeking reforms to ensure fairness and accountability in the evaluation system.

We hope the concerned authorities will address these issues promptly, as no student should have to suffer due to procedural inefficiencies. Transparency, consistency, and empathy are essential to restoring trust in KSLU’s academic framework.
