By the present writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a writ of mandamus commanding the respondents to give the admission to the petitioner in B.Ed. course in the preferential Colleges/Institution given by the petitioner on the basis of B.Ed. Entrance Test – 2005 as a General Candidate in Science Group under the Management Quota on the prescribed fees for the admission by the respondent No.1.

Petitioner has submitted that B.Ed Entrance Examination – 2005 was declared and he got total marks 265 in the mark sheet of Science Group. The grievance of the petitioner is that University has issued Press Notes in the daily newspaper for the admission in B.Ed. Course in the affiliated Self Finance Institution for the Session 2005-06 under the Management Quota. According to the submission of the petitioner, he has obtained 265 marks whereas the University has fixed cut off marks 231 in Science group in General Category and therefore, admittedly, the petitioner has obtained more than cut off marks, so he is entitled for admission. University has issued a press note in the daily newspaper for the admission in B.Ed. Course in the affiliated Self Finance Institution for the Session 2005-06 under the Management quota. In pursuance of this press note the petitioner has submitted his application stating therein that the name of the petitioner is not in the list of the successful candidates as published as per minimum cut off merit for the science group i.e. 231 while the petitioner has got 265 marks. Petitioner has submitted that the respondents have refused to give admission in B.Ed. Course as General Candidate under Science group for the Session 2005-06 under Management Quota while the classes of B.Ed. course has already started. Sri J.P.
