    A delegation of students’ even met the minister and gave their memorandum regarding this.

    Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) student’s leader Ravi Kumar said, “The results declared by Jharkhand Academic Council should be re-evaluated. The students who study got fewer marks in comparison to those who study less based on the previous records. So this is not correct.”
