Madhya Pradesh HC fines varsity Rs 5 lakh for admission norms violation
India TV NewsThe Madhya Pradesh High Court has imposed a cost of Rs 5 lakh on Sagar-based Dr Harisingh Gour University for violating the state government's norms on admission to the B.Ed course in its affiliated colleges. The central institution conducted a university-level entrance test for admission to B.Ed course in colleges affiliated to it for the 2019-20 session, instead of following the state government's centralised online counselling procedure, government advocate Hemanshu Mishra told PTI on Thursday. The university's academic programme committee ignored the interim directives passed by the high court earlier and continued with the university-level admission process, he said. It directed the university to deposit the amount with the MP High Court Legal Services Authority at Jabalpur within four weeks, Mishra said.
