Facing the wrath of Madras high court over introduction of economically weaker section (EWS) quota in admissions to two MTech courses in Anna University, the latter said it has not yet admitted any student to these courses.
When the issue came up before Justice B Pugalendhi on Friday for further hearing, Anna University’s counsel Vijaya Kumar said that though a merit list sent by the central government’s department of biotechnology contained allotment under EWS quota by creating additional seats, the university had not provided admission under the quota.
The submission came after the university was reprimanded by the court for creating ‘unnecessary confusion’ in admissions to the two centrally sponsored MTech Biotechnology and MTech Computational Biology courses.
Meanwhile, counsel for petitioners A Saravanan alleged that the EWS quota had been implemented by at least three other state universities in admission to centrallysponsored courses.
Pulling up the university, the court observed that the university cannot take a stand against the policy of the state.
