IN A significant move, the state government has stopped the process of admission in B Ed under managerial quota from next academic session 2006-07. Taking the cognisance of complaints regarding various irregularities in admission under the quota, the government has taken this decision but minority institutions have not been included in its ambit.
Sources said the state government had planned to organise entrance test for B. Ed at state level. The entrance test for the B. Ed to be organised by UP Self-financed Teachers’ Training College Association has been declared illegal. The entrance test was proposed on December 17.
According to a report, the admission in B. Ed under self-finance scheme was flourishing like a business and educational shops were running to provide the degree. Government received complaints regarding it and on November 29, the principal secretary for higher education Rajiv Kumar convened a meeting of all the registrars and discussed the complaint.
Later, he issued a circular to all the universities in this regard. According to the circular, the state government has taken the decision in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in PA Inamdar Case and ordered to cancel all the admission taken under managerial quota. He even said that violation of this order would pave the way for cancellation of the affiliation of degree colleges.
Sources said that government could take same decision regarding the colleges run by the minority educational societies. In letter number 4547/2-2006-3 (58/79 TC), the proposed entrance test by Uttar Pradesh Self-financed Teachers’ Training College Association in Delhi on December 17 was declared illegal.
