SIDDHARTH KAUL . vs GURU GOBIND SINGH INDRAP. UNIVERSITY — SLP(C) No. 14706/2012

Summary: B.Tech students of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University challenged the university's evaluation weightage ordinance as discriminatory under Article 14 of the Constitution. The petitioners argued that Bachelor's degree students faced 75% semester-end and 25% continuous evaluation marks, while Master's degree students had 60-40 distribution, claiming this was unfair. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition on July 11, 2013, holding that the different weightages for different degree levels constitute valid classification with rational nexus to the objective, and the university authorities have discretion to determine such allocations unless wholly arbitrary. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
