The Kerala High Court on Friday directed All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to submit the latest regulations that are being used as the basis of conducting entrance admissions.
Considering a batch of petitions challenging the addition of plus two marks to entrance test rank to decide merit for engineering seats, Justice Antony Dominic asked AICTE standing counsel S Krishnamoorthy to submit a copy of the latest regulations so as to continue hearing on the petitions on Monday.
The court's direction came after the AICTE counsel challenged the argument of by K Ramakumar, the counsel of petitioners, that the council's regulations rule against adding plus two marks. The AICTE counsel pointed out to the court that the regulations cited by the petitioners belong to 2003, whereas the council's latest regulations came out in 2010-11 and many provisions are different.
The main question being raised by the petitioners before the court is whether the State has the power to deviate from AICTE norms, the petitioners' lawyer stated. If the court finds out that State doesn't have the power, there is no need to argue the case further, Ramakumar submitted.
