Before proceeding to analyse the decision taken, it would be pertinent to bear in mind that Issue No. 2 and its various sub paragraphs use the expression 'प्राप्तांक' and 'पूर्णांक'. It is not disputed inter partes that the word 'प्राप्तांक' would mean the actual total marks obtained by a candidate in a particular examination while the expression 'पूर्णांक' would mean the total aggregate marks assigned for all papers/subjects in that particular examination and against which marks would have been given. To explain it a little differently, while the first expression thus means the total marks in fact awarded to the candidate across all units comprised in that examination, the second means the combined, overall or composite total of the various units against which marks have been awarded. This issue assumes significance since Appendix I requires quality point marks to be computed on the basis of a formula of which "percentage of marks" obtained at the High School, Intermediate, Graduation and Training Examination is a component.
