Fourteen B-schools in Orissa Relieved from AICTE’s Notification

IN PRINT

04 March 2011

The institutes can now grant admission to students on the basis of national-level tests like CAT, XAT, ATMA, JMET and MAT; and GD/PI

The Orissa High Court has exempted 14 B-schools in the state from AICTE’s notification that prevented them from conducting their own admission process to admit students.

A few days back, the Maharashtra High Court passed a similar order that freed ITM Group of Institutions from AICTE’s notification.

According to the order of the Orissa High Court, the 14 institutions may admit students to their PGDM, PGDM (Executive) and PGCM courses for the 2011-12 sessions.

Admissions shall be granted on the basis of the students’ performance in any one or more of the national-level tests including CAT, XAT, ATMA, JMET and MAT. The performance of the students in the group discussions and personal interviews shall also be a criterion for admission.

This is what happens if the policy decisions are taken in haste; are not based on sound research followed by discussions and deliberations by experts and important stakeholders. Regards, Tarun

AICTE Notification

Can anyone kindly clarify if the fourteen B schools can take admissions on their own or the same is to be accoplished through the central process by the assosciation. In Maharashtra, the institutions have not been granted the benefit of selection on their own but thru the centralized process of the Association.

I only hope we have Supreme Court judgement on the issue with PAN India jurisdiction.

Great ! !

The Orissa High Court's exemption from AICTE’s notification to 14 B-schools in the state is really OUTSTANDING in the Education fraternity.
I hope other state Governments also follow the same suite.
