Gandhinagar: On Tuesday i.e. on May 4, 2010, Gujarat High Court has provided a temporary relief to 64 self-financed colleges by directing the six universities of the state to allot students to them for the B.Ed course session commencing from 2010.
The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) had cancelled the self-financed colleges' recognition for non-compliance of prescribed norms and directed the universities not to allot any students to them. Earlier in 2009, a single judge of the high court had granted interim relief and allowed admission in B.Ed course to 60 colleges whose recognitions were cancelled by the NCTE.
As per sources, the colleges challenged the decision before the appellate authority, which upheld the NCTE's decision. The colleges then sought the intervention of the high court. The division bench of Chief Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya and Justice Akil Kureshi Tuesday granted interim relief to the colleges on the grounds that the admission process for B.Ed would start from this month and students should not suffer due to the pendency of the case.
