CET panel order challenged

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: : An order issued by the Permanent Committee for the Conduct of Entrance Test, permitting the Consortium of Professional, Arts and Sciences Colleges in Tamil Nadu to conduct the test for MBA/MCA this year, has been challenged in the Madras High Court.

Justice P.D. Dinakaran admitted a writ petition filed by T.D. Naidu, president, All-India Medical and Engineering Colleges Association (AIMECA), and ordered notices to the Committee and the Consortium.

It will be heard along with another petition filed by the AIMECA, challenging another order by the Committee authorising the Consortium to hold the CET for engineering courses too.

Mr. Naidu said the Committee passed the impugned order on July 18, though the consortium was not an association of colleges of a particular type, as mandated by the Supreme Court.

Though the association expressed its willingness to conduct the CET for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in unaided, non-minority, minority and self-financing colleges on January 26, the committee did not make any mention of the offer in its advertisement on January 27.
