The University said Modi changed his name from "Narendrakumar Damodardas Modi," which he used in admission form for MA Part I, to "Narendra Damodardas Modi" in MA Part II but everything is "genuine".
Acting Vice Chancellor of Gujarat University, Mahesh Patel told PTI, "Since he (Modi) had taken admission in MA Part I in 1981 on the basis of his DU degree, he used the name Narendrakumar Damodardas Modi. But when filling MA Part II form, he dropped 'kumar' and wrote Narendra Damodardas Modi in the form.
Patel said Modi obtained 237 marks out of 400 in MA Part I and 262 marks out of 400 in MA Part II.
He received 499 out of 800, or 62.3 per cent marks in his MA, the VC said.
Earlier in the day, the BJP released copies of Modi's BA and MA degrees in response to Aam Aadmi Party's allegations questioning his degree from Delhi University. However, AAP hit back saying the documents were "forged" and had "glaring discrepancies" in them.
AAP leader Ashutosh addressed a press conference in which he claimed Modi's name did not match in the BA marksheet and that of the MA degree and claimed that there were discrepancies in the year of passing.
