AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) dispatched hall tickets of students - who will take class X and class XII board exams - to the District Education Office (DEO). Schools across the state will be able to collect the hall tickets from DEO between 11am and 4pm from Thursday. However the process might not be as smooth as expected as the School Management Association (SMA) has instructed schools not to collect hall tickets. The SMA issued the instruction alleging that the government was putting school managements in a fix over fee regulation. SMA officials have proposed that DEO directly distribute hall tickets to students. Class X and class XII board exams are set to begin on March 12. In the past cases of certain schools including those affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education refusing to issue hall tickets to students have come to the fore. In fact a complaint had been registered with state education minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama. Thereafter the minister issued instructions to schools stating they had no right to stop hall ticket distribution. Even the CBSE issued an advisory asking schools not to take such steps. Self-financed Schools Management Association president Deepak Rajyaguru issued a statement saying Some 15 000 schools across the state provide education to thousands of students along with employment to 1.5 lakh teachers. The government is painting a wrong picture about the school managements in the public domain due to which friction is created between parents and school managements.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has taken a serious view of schools withholding admit cards of students due to their performance in the pre-board tests. The board has written to the heads of all schools affiliated to it directing them to refrain from doing so. A report in The Times of India states that the CBSE wrote the letter after receiving numerous complaints of schools detaining students on the basis of their pre-board results. These tests are internal assessments conducted by the schools to evaluate the performance of students before the actual board examinations. CBSE logo. Image courtesy: cbse.nic.in It may be noted that the Board issues admit cards only to those candidates (who) have been sponsored by schools in their finalised list of candidates of Class 10/12. Therefore the school has already confirmed eligibility of such candidates for appearing in Board examinations. This being the position it is reiterated that holding of admit card/not allowing eligible candidates to appear in practical/theory examination in class 10/12 is violative of CBSE examination bye-laws. The school will also not charge any fee for issue of admit card to the eligible candidate the CBSE s letter states. The circular refers to Rule 15 of the Examination Bye-Laws which states that heads of affiliated schools cannot detain eligible candidates from appearing for the examination in any case.
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court put on hold the operation of a Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) notification laying down eligibility conditions including upper age limit of 25 years and 30 years for general and reserved categories respectively to apply for NEET the national level entrance exam for various medical and related courses.The order was passed by a bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Chander Shekhar on several petitions moved by medical aspirants who are aggrieved by various other eligibility norms which bar them from applying for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)-UG.The application process for NEET exam began online on February 8 2018 and it will be concluded on March 9 2018. The exam will be conducted on May 6 2018.The court while passing its interim order made it clear that while the candidates are allowed to submit their application for the entrance exam it does not mean that they can sit for it.Senior advocate Nidhesh Gupta appearing for several MBBS aspirants told the court that the students were also challenging the constitutional validity of the amendments made by the MCI in the Regulations on Graduate Medical Education which are the basis of the NEET-UG notification issued by the CBSE.Senior advocate Vikas Singh appearing for MCI opposed the maintainability of the pleas saying a similar issue has already been decided by the high court in the past.Press Trust of India reported yesterday that Malappuram based Jalaludheen T and Suresh T who have already completed courses of Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) and Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) have alleged that the upper age limit prescribed by the national level medical entrance exam was arbitrary and unreasonable .The petitioners contended in their plea that the Supreme Court had quashed the age limit prescribed by CBSE for NEET last year and had allowed all the candidates to appear for the exam without any age limit.Their petition stated that the Kerala provides for quota in admission to MBBS and allied courses for the candidates who have qualified BAMS BHMS and for nurses. The duration of BAMS and BHMS courses are five and a half years. Now if a person desires to take NEET-UG after completion of his course it becomes difficult for him to do so due to the upper age limit prescribed infringing their fundamental rights enshrined under our Constitution the petition said.Under the CBSE notification candidates who https://sharenator.com/profile/arfsplayer/ have studied in open school students who have had biology as an additional subject those who have taken more than two years to complete their 11th and 12th and students who have studied privately were not eligible to apply for the exam.The court today said students from open school or those who have studied privately should belong to a recognised board in order to apply for the exam.The court said the interim order will continue till the next date of hearing on April 6.Meanwhile CBSE apprised in a notification on February 24 that the Board has no role to play in deciding the eligibility conditions for NEET. It is to apprise that the responsibility of CBSE is limited to hold the NEET (UG) examination based on the eligibility criteria provided by Medical Council of India (MCI) it said in the notification. As per eligibility criteria students who have pursued schooling through NIOS/ State Open School or students who had studied Biology/ Bio-Technology as an additional subject at 10 2 level are ineligible as per Graduate Medical Education Regulations 1997 as amended in 2018 under the MCI Act 1956 and provided to CBSE to hold the NEET (UG) it added.
