Pass examination marks in Baku State University (BSU) dropped

Today Pass examination marks in Baku State University (BSU)   have been lowered from 25 to 17, just like it is in other universities, Turan was told by informed source at BSU.

Two years ago the BSU decided to tighten the conditions  and examination  marks were  raised from 17 to 25 , which  caused discontent  of students, increased corruption and poor results. Lowering of pass marks at examinations was one of the demands of students during a protest on February 20.

(Examination mark is formed in two stages: first - during the semester and can reach a maximum of 50 points (now it will be minimum of 34 points), and the second - directly at exams at least 25 points.)

In addition, it was decided to evaluate the now-completed winter session as the level of 17 points, which  means that the majority of students who failed exams, now will be considered as  passed exams. 

According to the same source, formerly rector literally demanded from teachers to low students’ marks.

Today deans entered the  auditoriums and asked students whose parents are  war veterans  or invalids. It is not clear but why, but apparently for this category of students will be some  indulgences. -02В-
