Nagpur : Bombay high court has directed Directorate of Technical Education to admit a20-yearold Class 12 passout to a diploma in pharmacy (DPharm) course after he was denied admission for bypassing Class 11 and enrolling directly on Class 12 science stre am through Form 17, a route legally available to private candidates. Despite scoring 61.67% in his Class 12, Amartya Meshram, a student from a poor family, was denied admission to DPharm for not completing Class 11 in a formal classroom setting. The Nagpur bench of justices stressed that Mesh ram’s educational qualification under the 10+2 system met the eligibility criteria. The court relied heavily on a 2014 Central govt notification, which allowed students with recognised 10+2 qualifications to apply for the pharmacy program, provided their schooling was not from non-formal setups like open schools.
