1. Aggrieved by the Ravenshaw University (Opposite Parties) declining admission to the Petitioner in the B.Com Course for the academic session 2020-21, the Petitioner has approached this Court with the present writ petition.

Averments in the petition

2. In this petition, filed on 3rd March 2021, the averments of the Petitioner are that she applied in the online mode for admission to the above course within the time stipulated i.e. 20th September, 2020. She claims that the certificates and mark-sheets of the 10 +2 examinations and the migration certificate of the CBSC were sent to her through digital mode and after downloading and printing copies thereof she got them attested by the Principal of her school on 19th September, 2020. She submitted them to the Opposite Parties-University along with the requisite admission fee.

3. The counseling was scheduled for 18th October, 2020. On that date the Petitioner was supposed to appear along with original documents which included the School Leaving Certificate (SLC), Conduct Certificate, Migration Certificate etc..

4. In paragraph 8 of the petition, it is averred that on 14th October, 2020 the Petitioner "lost" all the original documents collected from her School along with some other documents like Aadhar Card, her father‟s Bank Passbook. It is claimed that her father immediately lodged a police complaint, which was registered as a Station Diary Entry, with the Dargha Bazaar Police Station, Cuttack.

"218. Register of Students: The Controller of Examinations shall maintain on behalf of the Syndicate a register in which shall be noted the names of all students of the University.
219. Registration Compulsory for all students: Any student reading for a degree or diploma or any examination of the University shall have his name entered in the Register of Students and no candidate for an examination of the University shall be eligible to appear at any such examination without having first his name so entered in conformity with the conditions hereinafter specified. For the purpose of such registration the students of other Universities shall be required to submit a migration certificate from the Universality from which they have passed the last qualifying examination.
Provided that if the migration certificate is not produced at the time the candidate registers for the examination, he may be allowed to appear at the examination but his result shall not be published until he produces the migration certificate.".

22. Therefore, only bonafide students of the University whose names are recorded in the Register of Students are eligible to take part in the examination. It is pointed out that the Petitioner is still not a student of the University as she did not complete her admission formalities as per the Admission Guidelines and Prospectus of the University. The entire admission process for B.Com was completed on 1st December, 2020. Her name not being in the Register of Students maintained by the University, she was not eligible to appear the examination of the University.
