Re-examination for '08-09 B Ed students

The department of higher education (DHE) is mulling to conduct examination for the B Ed students of session 2008 and 2009 whose admission process had come under dispute due to recognition status of colleges. Only those students, who were allotted counselling date and time, will be allowed to take the exam.

The decision was made in a meeting of DHE officials with the registrars in the state capital on Tuesday. "We had a meeting and we have decided to conduct examination for candidates who were called for counselling. Dates will be announced once we get a written consent from the government," R D Musalgaonkar, registrar, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, said.

The admission process had run into dispute when DHE had stopped the process due to controversies related to recognition of B Ed colleges. Following the DHE action, the colleges had moved court for its opinion as they had started taking admission in colleges. The court had constituted a team to find out the status of counselling in colleges. The team had found that few colleges had started taking admission. The court had then directed to conduct re-examination of the aspirants and declare the results. Relating to it a meeting was held on Tuesday, which decided to conduct examination for those students who had been called for counselling.
