West Bengal Education minister Partha Chatterjee has said Jadavpur University authorities should ponder whether changing the marks of candidates in the new merit list of History will enhance the prestige of the premier institution.

When asked about 15 new names having figured among the 70 candidates on the revised merit list for under graduate (UG) course brought out by the university, Chatterjee told reporters yesterday, "Yes there has also been instance of someone getting 0 in the previous merit list, and now having secured 90 in the revised list."
Chatterjee added, "That is why I had always been maintaining that there should be uniformity in the admission procedure in all streams in JU."
