CET: student moves High Court

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: A Plus-Two student has moved the Madras High Court to forbear the State Government from dispensing with the Common Entrance Test (CET) for admission to professional colleges for 2006-07.

The petitioner, Nishanth, said the move to do away with the test in Tamil Nadu, which had a multi-board examination system, would be in violation of the High Court's order itself. Last year, the First Bench held that the test was mandatory if there was more than one stream of assessment at the Plus- Two level. In July 2005, passing orders on the P.A. Inamdar case, the Supreme Court ruled that the entrance test was essential for both aided and unaided educational instit utions. He prayed for an interim injunction, restraining the Higher Education Department from admitting students without the test and calling for applications.
