19.08.2025 Heard Mr. M. Dutta, learned counsel for the petitioner.

The grievance being addressed in this petition under 226 of the Constitution of India, is that the petitioner had appeared for spot admission at the Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS), a deemed University; against two available vacancies in M.A. in Peace and Conflict Studies, for the Guwahati campus; and in the advertisement, no reservation of the seats were indicated, and thereafter, two candidates, including the petitioner herein, appeared in the interview, and the petitioner was expecting to get selected. But, as per the information received by him, he had not been selected for the aforementioned vacancies, and thereafter, on 11.08.2025, the petitioner was informed by a mail that the Reservation Rules are applicable for spot round also and there are no general seats available. However, as per information received by the petitioner, only one candidate was selected against the two vacancies, and the other vacancy still exists. But, the respondent authorities had mailed him that no 'General category' seat is available; though, no specification in that regard was made in the Admission Notice.
