CET for all streams on May 13 and 14

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: With the Supreme Court refusing to stay the Madras High Court order on the Common Entrance Test (CET) for admission to professional courses, the State Government has decided to conduct it for students of all streams on May 13 and 14.

It will follow the old pattern and Anna University will hold the test.

An official release issued here on Tuesday said, "To avoid anxiety among students and parents on the admission policy for the academic year 2006, and taking note of the pendency of the special leave petition before the Supreme Court, the Government of Tamil Nadu has finalised a tentative programme for holding the CET... " Now that the dates have been announced, the Government said "the final schedule for counselling and commencement of classes will be absolutely on schedule without any delay." The CET would be similar to the previous years and "will be applicable to all students, including State Board students."

But the Government also said: "The system to be followed eventually in [matters of] admissions to professional courses will be determined on the basis of the decision of the Supreme Court."
