NET rules challenged in HC

[Abilash Achuthan]

The Kerala High Court on Monday adjourned the hearing on a writ petition challenging the instruction of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to candidates appearing for the UGC’s National Eligibility Test (NET) scheduled for July 10 to be present in the examination centres two hours before the start of the examination.

The court asked the CBSE and the University Grants Commission to respond to the writ petition. The petition was filed by Jyothi Abraham of Alappuzha.

According to her, the CBSE, which was conducting the test for the UGC, in the hall tickets, asked the candidates to be present in the examination centre by 7 a.m. for the test which would start at 9.30 a.m.

The petitioner said that there were only three examination centres in the State. The petitioner was residing in Alappuzha district. It would be difficult for the petitioner to reach the centre by 7 a.m., i.e. two hours before the examination.

It is very difficult to justify the rules and regulations made by the CBSE-NET Exam Authority. This exam is only for adults, why they make centers in kids schools? It is very difficult to accommodate in the school's furniture. University were better as center of exam.
