Eliminate the difference
Grade or divisions are nothing but the measures of merit of a student. There should have been no discrimination between the marking criteria between these two. Unfortunately, some of the institutions do not maintain proper equality between grade and divisions. In division system, a student gets 1st division (highest rank) if he secures 60% marks. On the contrary, any student securing 'B' grade is understood to get 60% marks. Nonetheless, many public or private institutions describe B+ or A- as 1st divisions! This is a great discrimination. Because, a student must secure 65% and 70% marks in order to get B+ or A- respectively. Due to this factor, many of the candidates do not qualify for better jobs though they are eligible! The education ministry should pay attention over this matter.
