“47.In the conspectus of the above discussion, this Court is of the considered view that the additional qualifications (eligibility criteria) introduced under the impugned resolutions dated 03.09.2018 and 09.11.2018 cannot be made applicable to these writ petitioners. The arguments that the additional qualifications prescribed have nothing to do with the API score, in the opinion of this Court, are without any merit. Such arguments are made only for the purpose of the case and therefore, liable to be rejected. When this Court is fully convinced that API score is what the minimum requirement prescribed by the AICTE and which has been adopted by the Government and the University, it is not open to the University to introduce any additional qualification by diluting the exemption benefit to the candidates who are otherwise entitled to the exemption of API score for the relevant period.

The citations relied on by the learned senior counsel for the petitioners would be the answer to this conclusion by this Court.
