Supreme Court stayed the Gujarat High Court to refresh with a new merit list for the aspiring 70,000 engineering students who had applied for the admission to the first year in various engineering colleges across the state.
The State High court has held that Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) had wrongly calculated percentile ranks of students who did not belong to the state examination board. They were twenty three. The apex court has asked to reconsider the admission of these students once again. These students have questioned the admission process because of scoring low percentile marks despite scoring well in their respective board.
The committee had already permitted admission to 54,000 students and the remaining 16,000 with management quota to various colleges.
The fresh list will give 60% weightage to board exam results and 40% to the Joint Entrance Exams (JEE). The high court has given specific instruction to the admission authority that it should not gauge the percentile of central board students merely on the basis of those who had registered for the admission process in Gujarat. Instead, their percentile should be calculated on the basis of their performance in their board exam.
This direction was passed after the bench felt that the calculations had discrepancies with the provisions of the Bachelor of Engineering & Technology (Regulation of Admission & Payment of Fees) Rules 2013, and violated Article 14 of the Constitution.
