A few junior faculty members accepted that they allotted passing marks to some of the students on instructions of an official from the University Examination Department.

An assistant professor from department of Computer Technology at MIT confessed his mistake in a letter to Chief Minister's cell. Another assistant professor at Ramanujan Computing Centre in CEG addressed his letter to a semi-government organization, which is already aware of this agitation.
