AICTE asserts before Madras HC that Anna University should have admitted 45 students in M. Tech(Biotech) & M. Tech (Computational Biology) courses before Dec 31 & nothing can be done now. @THChennai
Justice B. Pugalendhi remarks: All universities are starting new courses, Anna University is spoiling courses that are being run for last 25 years.
Special Government Pleader E. Manoharan, representing TN Govt, contends that AICTE has no role to play in admission to the two courses.
When Centre had permitted you to fill the seats this year, you should have followed State Govt's reservation policy. What is the necessity for having written to the State government seeking clarification on which reservation policy to follow? Judge asks Anna University counsel
Centrally sponsored courses are offered not just by Anna Univ but also other universities in TN. Those universities have admitted students by following Centre's 49.5% reservation policy, Central Government counsel tells HC.
"Oh, so you are indirectly imposing Centre's reservation policy in TN," asks judge.
No My Lord, that is not the intention, replies Central Government counsel
The entire confusion in admissions this year is because of Centre's communication to Anna University to follow Centre's reservation policy though UGC guidelines clearly say that only State Government policy must be followed by individual universities, says judge.
Judge orders listing of the case tomorrow for Centre to explain how can it insist on following Centre's reservation policy in violation of UGC guidelines. UGC also included as a party suo motu.
