JUDGMENT
Rekha Palli, J. (Oral)--The petitioner has approached this Court assailing the respondents' action in not considering his candidature in the Children/Widows of Personnel of the Armed Forces (CW) category for admission to the LLB course at the respondent no.1 University for the academic year 2021-22.
2. The petitioner had applied as a Scheduled Caste (SC) category candidate for admission in the LLB course in July, 2021 and had also appeared in its entrance examination held on 29.09.2021 under the said reserved category. However, it is only after the result was declared in November, 2021 that he realised that he was not likely to make it to the merit list for admission as a SC candidate and therefore, decided to make a representation to the respondent on 11.11.2021 for considering his case under the CW category. In his representation, the petitioner stated that he was possessing all the necessary documents for admission in the CW category. Upo
Candidates cannot change their admission category after results are declared, as it disrupts the admissions process and fairness for all applicants.
The court held that once an applicant has submitted their category for admission, changes post-application, especially after results are declared, are impermissible to maintain orderly admissions.
The court held that changes to admission categories cannot be made after the fact to preserve the integrity of the admission process.
Consciousness of category selection and potential impact on the counseling process are crucial considerations in permitting category changes after exam results.
No amendment/correction permitted after submission of the application form.
Candidates must adhere to the category selected in admission forms post-deadline, with inadvertent errors not permitting rectification, ensuring fair competition.
