State Of Tamil Nadu & Anr. Etc. Etc vs Adhiyaman Educational & Research ... on 24 March, 1995
It is no doubt true
as noticed by this Court in Adhiyaman's case that there may be situations
when a large number of seats may fall vacant on account of the higher
standards fixed. The standards fixed should always be realistic which are
attainable and are within the reach of the candidates. It cannot be said
that the prescriptions by the State Government in addition to those of
AICTE in the present case are such which are not attainable or which are
not within the reach of the candidates who seek admission for engineering
colleges. It is not very high percentage of marks that has been prescribed
as minimum of 60% downwards, but definitely higher than the mere pass
marks.
