They have to follow eligibility norms prescribed by govt.: Madras varsity V-C
A Class 12 Commerce stream student from a government school in Namakkal district with high marks was denied a seat in B.Com at a few city colleges as he had not studied mathematics.
The student has met the same fate in several other colleges in Coimbatore and Madurai.
Vice-Chancellor of Madras University P. Duraisamy said autonomous colleges cite University Grants Communication regulations relating to their freedom to decide the eligibility norms and curriculum.
“We give them freedom to follow their own curriculum but they have to follow eligibility norms prescribed by the government. We issue the degrees to students. The government can ask them to follow the G.O. since many colleges are receiving grants from the government,” he said.
AUT President N. Pasupathy, however, said colleges can admit students based on the eligibility criteria prescribed by the Directorate of College Education.
“A college cannot impose eligibility norms. The Directorate prescribes the norms for all colleges. Autonomous colleges cannot impose eligibility norms. Violation of the DCE proceedings could invite action from the University and the directorate,” he added.
