BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ============== W.P.(C).No. 18720 OF 2008 ==================== Dated this the 11th day of July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a candidate aspiring to join TTC Course for which he has submitted an application under the management quota in the 4th respondent's institute. However, the petitioner does not have 50% marks in the Higher Secondary Examination which is the minimum qualification prescribed for admission to TTC Course. The petitioner's contention is that the petitioner is short of 50% marks only by three marks and therefore taking a lenient view, the petitioner's application may be directed to be considered for admission. 2. I am unable to countenance the petitioner's contention. Regulations prescribe the minimum marks for becoming eligible for admission to TTC Course. Admittedly, the petitioner does not possess the minimum qualifying marks for admission. That being so, she cannot aspire for admission to TTC Course. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
