Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University (BRABU) in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, has come under fire after its recently declared postgraduate third-semester results (2023–25) exposed major discrepancies in mark allotment. In one bizarre case, a student was awarded 257 marks in a 100-mark theory paper and 225 in a 30-mark practical, yet the student was still marked as not promoted.
The incident has triggered sharp criticism from students and reignited concerns over the university’s evaluation process. Over 100 students are reportedly still awaiting their results. Many allege their internal marks were not submitted by respective colleges, resulting in withheld or unfair results.
Out of approximately 9,000 students who appeared for the exam, nearly 8,000 were declared passed. However, students from streams like Hindi, English, and Science continue to raise complaints. Some have claimed they were failed by just one or two marks, and their grievances were allegedly dismissed by officials, citing errors caused by a “head examiner.”
University Exam Controller Professor Ram Kumar acknowledged the mistakes and said they stemmed from errors in Excel sheet data entry.
“It came to our notice that some students received marks exceeding the total. Upon investigation, it was found that the error occurred during Excel sheet entries while preparing the results,” he explained.
He further added that the issue was promptly investigated and has since been corrected. “The results are fed in Excel format, where occasional typing mistakes can occur. As soon as we received complaints, we conducted a prompt investigation and corrected the errors. Greater caution will be exercised in the future,” he assured. The responsible computer operator has been warned.
Despite promises of tighter checks moving forward, the blunder has sparked broader debate about the lack of quality control and accountability in university evaluation systems, especially for institutions managing thousands of student records.
