20. The next Clause impugned in the said Government Order relates to the imposition of Single Window System. As it is pointed out by the learned senior counsel for the petitioners, for admission to B.Ed., course, students are drawn from various streams of studies. Since the basic requirement for admission is degree, any person who gets degree in any subject is eligible. With the result, students from B.Sc., B.A., or B.Com., and among them students who have chosen various subjects like Maths, Physics, Chemistry, History, Economic, Corporate Courses, etc. can compete for admission to B.Ed., course. In addition, even persons with Post Graduate degrees and persons with M.Phil. are eligible to compete for admission to B.Ed. In view of the said facts the students are drawn from various streams of studies, whose method of examination and evaluation of merit are totally different. Moreover, the student who is coming from Science faculty, Maths faculty may be able to secure more marks. On the other hand, a student from History or Economics may not be able to secure such equal marks. In such circumstances, the process of normalisation is absolutely impossible by following the marks in the qualifying examination. In order to make the admission on Single Window System, viz., based on the marks obtained in the qualifying examination, the Supreme Court has held in P.A. Inamdar's case (cited supra), that holding of entrance test followed by centralised counselling or single window does not cause any dent in the minority Unaided Educational Institutions to admit students of their choice. But, in the present context, when the State Government has abolished the common entrance examination system, there is absolutely no possibility to arrive at a proper conclusion in the process of selection based on the marks obtained in the qualifying examination. In this regard, it is relevant that the Supreme Court in T.M.A. Pai Foundation case (cited supra) has held that, sufficient discretion must be given to the Unaided-Professional Institutions, however, based on merit. The following paragraphs in T.M.A. Pai Foundation's case are relevant.
