The university, however, has no details about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's graduation, except that he passed pre-science.
Amid a raging row over Narendra Modi's educational qualifications, an English tabloid has reported that the Prime Minister had secured a first-class degree in MA political science as an external student in Gujarat University. However, the university has no details about the prime minister's graduation, except that he passed pre-science, which is a one-year course equivalent to class XII.
"According to the information available with Gujarat University, Modi was an external student and completed his masters in political science with a score of 62.3% in 1983," reported Ahmedabad Mirror. The report said that the subjects studied by Modi in the two-year course included European Politics, Indian Political Analysis and Psychology of Politics.
"Modi scored 237 marks out of 400 in first year MA and 262 out of 400 in MA II. His total was 499 out of 800 marks," Gujarat University Vice-Chancellor MN Patel told the daily.
The report quotes Patel saying, "The second year marks listed in the records mention that PM scored 64 (out of 100 marks) marks in political science, 62 in European and Social Political Thoughts, 69 in Modern India/ Political Analysis and 67 marks in Concept tool/s — Political Psychological and Social."
The report also claims that Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel was a second year MSc student of Inorganic Chemistry in the same college that Modi did his prescience from (MN Science College, Visnagar) and that the two had the same roll number (71).
The latest details about Modi's educational qualification have emerged amid the Central Information Commission (CIC) directing the universities of Delhi and Gujarat to respond to all RTI applications with regards to Modi's educational qualifications. Modi's official website claims he cleared his BA from DU in 1978.
Recently, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had demanded that the Central Information Commission (CIC) make public information pertaining to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's educational qualifications.
In a letter to Information Commissioner M Sridhar Acharyulu, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he does not object to government records about him being made public and wondered why the Commission wants to 'hide information on Modi's educational degree'.
