This query is : Resolved
Anna University, Ramachandra University and Dr. Ambetkar Law University were commissioned to take care Engineering Degree, Medical and Law Degree respectively which were under the control of the University of Madras. However, many students who were keeping arrears of papers were given one time opportunity to clear the subjects under University of Madras. However, though many students were yet to pass their subjects in B.E. M.B.B.S and B.L. for genuine reasons University of Madras has declined candidature to conduct exams for these professional courses in future. My query is:
1. Can those candidates legally claim migration to Anna University or Law University to appear for the arrears subjects under new curriculum alongwith the other regular candidates?
2. Whether University of Madras is in order to stop conduct of Exams for old candidates just because new universities are governing the professional courses?
3. Whether these old students can file a case against the University seeking them to restore conduct of exams on regular basis?
4. Are there any precedents or enactments or constitutional provisions to safeguard these students where parent university is legally bound to conduct exams for old students?
5. What is the option left for such old B.E. and M.B.B.S. or B.L. students who are neither allowed to complete the papers from the parent university nor given migration to the new university?
Experts to guide on this matter as it relates to thousands of students who are keeping their fingers crossed due to the decision taken by the University. If it is legally tenable, I would invite any advocate in this forum based at Chennai to take up the case on behalf of such students for legal recourse. Personal message to me would suffice as aggrieved students need to write the exams. Many of them are even keeping a single subject uncleared to gain a professional degree. Please also advise me to my personal email to initiate legal action against the decision of the university. (lawyerlogan@gmail.com)
