NEW DELHI:
IP University’s law school will now
admit students through
CLAT from this year as the
Supreme Court has set aside the previous method of
Common Entrance Test followed by the university.
The Supreme Court on May 21 held that the law admissions to Guru Gobind Singh IP University for this academic year can take place through the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT).
The court states that there was no need for IP University to use CET for its admissions.
The university had approached the court against the order of Delhi high court dated April 1, restricting it from adopting CLAT scores for admissions to the law courses.
The university in its petition said that the students “would suffer irreparable loss and injury, if the order passed by the Honourable High Court is not stayed, whereas no prejudice would be caused to the respondents nor they would suffer in any manner whatsoever due to the stay as prayed for,” the petition stated.
In the court, the other party of Self-Financing Educational Institutions Association had objected to allowing the university to use CLAT scores, saying that the last date for application for CLAT is over and that the candidates will face a serious drawback if GGSIPU was allowed to use CLAT scores. SC, however, observed that there was no need to revert to CET for this academic year.
