Architecture student not allowed to attend classes, moves court

Chennai: A first year BArch student of MEASI Academy of Architecture has knocked the doors of the Madras HC saying that the authorities are yet to approve her admission though she has been duly admitted through a lapsed seat within the cut-off date of September 30.


G Niveditha, who has been attending classes, was asked by the management not to do so all of a sudden.


Though she could not get admission to the institution, she said she didn’t join any other college and waited for the counselling to get over. In the meantime, Jeysuriya, who got admission under the government quota, decided not to join the course and the vacant seat was offered to the petitioner as lapsed seat.


She joined the college by paying the fee on August 29 and began attending classes. The college management also communicated her admission to the director of technical education and Anna University uploaded her name on the list. However, the management suddenly asked her not to attend classes. The demand draft she had submitted for the course fee was returned by the college as her admission was not approved by the director of technical education.



Claiming that there is no justification for the director to deny her admission as there was absolutely no irregularity in conversion of the lapsed seat to a management seat, the petitioner has approached the court to direct the authorities to approve her admission and permit her to continue with her studies.


The hearing of the plea that came up before Justice G Jayachandran is to be continued on Wednesday.
