B.Ed. admission: apex court issues notice
- High Court had quashed a July 4, 2007 government
order
- G.O. told colleges to surrender 50% seats to government quota
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the
Tamil Nadu Self- Financing Colleges of Education Management
Association and others on a special leave petition filed by
Tamil Nadu against a Madras High Court judgment, holding that
self-financing colleges need not follow the single window system
of admission to B.Ed.
The High Court had quashed a July 4, 2007 government order,
directing self-financing colleges offering B.Ed. to surrender
50 per cent of their seats to the government quota and follow
the single window system.
In its judgment dated August 17, 2007, the High Court had said
that for admission to B.Ed., students were drawn from various
streams of studies with varied subjects, and in the absence
of any entrance test, there was no possibility of admitting
the students on an equitable basis. A Bench of Justice B.N.
Agrawal and Justice G.S. Singhvi issued notice on the State
government’s appeal and directed that the matter posted
along with a batch of petitions challenging the High Court judgment
upholding the abolition of the Common Entrance Test for admission
to professional courses
Justifying the single window system, the special leave petition
said the State had the right to introduce a procedure for admission
of students of any course to alleviate their difficulties and
to avoid heavy expenses.
Recommendations
The single window system was introduced on the recommendations
of the Director of Collegiate Education, who had said that the
existing procedure was causing hardship to students.
The petition sought quashing of the judgment.
