WRFT PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTrTUTION OF INDIA SB: Hon'Me Shri Satish K. Agmhotri. J. Present: Sliri P,P.Sahu, Advocate for the petitioner. SM M.P.S.Bhaia, Deputy Govermiient Advocate forthe State/respondente. ORAL ORDER (Passed on 04th day of May, 2009) 1. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to consider the case ofthe petitioner for admission to Master ofComputer Application (for short 'MCA')course. Leamed coimsel appearing for the petitioner refers to brochure dealing with entrance test ofMCA course. 2. Clause 2.3 ofthe said brochure reads as under: "A caiididate seeking admission to IvICA Course should be a Gi-aduate of any recogiiized Indian or Foreigii University or Institute recognized by the concenied University as equivalent thereto. The Bacherlor's degree must be of minimum ttoee years duration in any discipline with Mathematics as compulsory or additional subj'ect at either (10+2) kvel or at graduation level. Aiiy allied subject of Mathematics (other than Mathematics or Higlier Mathematics) at 10+2 level orgraduation level is not acceptable). Candidate who have passed examination of BCA course from any recognized University are exempted from the eligibility condition of having Mathematics as a compulsory subject at 10+2 level or lii^iei' level exaiBinatiosi." ^»s It is clearly provided that the eligibility qualification for admission to MCA course is bachelor's degree of minimum three years duration in any discipline with mathematics as additional or compulsoiy subject either at 104-2 level or graduation level. Secondly, the candidate should have passed the examination ofBCA course. Admittedly, the petitioner does not possess 10+2 certificate or bachelors degree with mathematics as additional or compulsoiy subject. It is also not the case ofthe petitioner that he has passed the examination ofBCA coui-se. The petitioner has obtained bachelor's degree in B.Sc. (I.T.). Sliri Salui further submits that B.Sc. (IT.) may be equated with BCA. I have heard leamed counsel appearing for the parties, pemsed the pleadmgs and documents appended thereto. There 1s no confusioo or ambigiiity in the educational qualification prescribed for admission to MCA course. Admittedly, the petitiosier does not possess fhe requisite qualification for admission to MCA course. So far as equating ofB.Se. (IT) with BCA is concemed, this is not for this Court to equate the courses, until and unless there are certam notifications or decisions by the experts inthe field ofeducation. Tliere is no merit in the case. Accordingly, the petitioii is dismissed at the motion stage itself. Sd/- Satish K. Agnihotri Judge Aimt
