            This judgment will dispose of      Civil Writ Petitions      Nos.<\/p>\n
16842, 20924, 20931 to 20942, 20947 and 21060, all of the year 2008,<\/p>\n
which involve similar questions of fact and law and were heard together for<\/p>\n
disposal by this common order.\n<\/p>\n
            A large number of seats in different Institutions offering<\/p>\n
Diploma Course in Teacher Education appear to have remained vacant on
\n CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 16842 OF 2008                               -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
account of non-availability of students for admission against the same<\/p>\n
through a Common Entrance Test, held by Board of School Education<\/p>\n
Haryana. The petitioners- Institutions have filed these petitions seeking<\/p>\n
permission to make admissions against the said vacant seats. The argument<\/p>\n
forcefully advanced on their behalf by Mr. Vijay Sharma is that if no<\/p>\n
candidates, who appeared in the Common Entrance Test, are available for<\/p>\n
admission against the vacant seats, there is no reason why such seats should<\/p>\n
not be allowed to be filled by admitting candidates, who have not appeared<\/p>\n
in the said Test but are otherwise eligible for such admission as per the<\/p>\n
norms , fixed by the National Council for Teacher Education. Reliance for<\/p>\n
that submission is placed by Mr. Sharma upon a decision of this Court in<\/p>\n
Civil Writ Petition No. 17284 of 2008 (Association of Education Colleges<\/p>\n
v. State of Haryana and others) and connected matters, disposed of by our<\/p>\n
order dated November 21, 2008. This Court was in that case examining<\/p>\n
whether seats available in B.Ed. Colleges could be filled up by the<\/p>\n
Institutions concerned from out of students, who had not appeared in the<\/p>\n
Common Entrance Test. Taking note of the availability of the infrastructure<\/p>\n
and the fact that all the Colleges, where such seats had remained vacant,<\/p>\n
were duly recognised by the competent authority and affiliated to the<\/p>\n
concerned Universities, this Court had permitted the Institutions to fill up<\/p>\n
the said seats from out of candidates, who were otherwise eligible but who<\/p>\n
had not appeared in the Common Entrance Test. On the analogy of that<\/p>\n
order, one could say that the petitioners in this writ petition also have a<\/p>\n
prima facie case in their favour permitting admission of candidates against<\/p>\n
the available vacant seats. That is because      available infrastructure in<\/p>\n
recognised Colleges should not be allowed to be wasted by keeping the
\n CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 16842 OF 2008                                 -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
seats vacant especially when candidates, who fulfill the basic conditions of<\/p>\n
eligibility were available. The difficulty, however, arises on account of the<\/p>\n
fact that any admission granted by the Institutions at this belated point of<\/p>\n
time is likely to seriously affect the academic standard, which the<\/p>\n
Institutions have to maintain in terms of the Regulations framed by the<\/p>\n
National Council for Teacher Education under the NCTE Act and the<\/p>\n
statutory body, to which these Institutions are affiliated. It is common<\/p>\n
ground that the Regulations framed by the NCTE require a minimum study<\/p>\n
of 180 days as per Appendix 2 to National Council for Teacher Education<\/p>\n
( Recognition Norms and Procedure) Regulations, 2007. Para 2.2 of the<\/p>\n
Appendix 2 reads as under:\n<\/p>\n
            “2.2 Working Days<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
            (a) There shall be at least 180 working days each year exclusive<\/p>\n
            of the period of examination and admission, out of which at<\/p>\n
            least 40 days shall be for practice teaching \/ skill development<\/p>\n
            in nearby elementary schools.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            (b) A working day shall be of a minimum of 6 hours in a six<\/p>\n
            day week, during which physical presence in the institution of<\/p>\n
            all the teachers and student teachers is necessary to ensure their<\/p>\n
            availability for individual advice, guidance, dialogues and<\/p>\n
            consultation as and when needed.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            We may also refer to the Prospectus , issued by the Board of<\/p>\n
School Education, Haryana, which        inter alia prescribes the minimum<\/p>\n
lectures to be attended by the candidates for appearing in the D.Ed.<\/p>\n
Examination. Para 5 of the General Information, contained in the said
\n CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 16842 OF 2008                                  -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
Prospectus reads thus:\n<\/p>\n
            “1 to 4      xxx          xxx          xxx<\/p>\n
            5. The candidate will be required to attend classes minimum for<\/p>\n
               220 days and 1000 working hours for appearing in the final<\/p>\n
               examinations of D.Ed. I\/II.\n<\/p>\n
            6. To 13     xxx    xxx   xxx”\n<\/p>\n
            On a conjoint reading of the above two provisions, it would<\/p>\n
appear that candidates admitted to undergo the Diploma Course have to<\/p>\n
attend a minimum of 220 days and 1000 workings hours for appearing in<\/p>\n
Part I or II of the D.Ed. Examinations. This requirement, we are afraid<\/p>\n
cannot be fulfilled by those admitted to the Course at this belated stage. We<\/p>\n
say so because while the Common Entrance Test was held on May 25, 2008,<\/p>\n
the result whereof was declared on May 27, 2008, and the Ist Counseling<\/p>\n
process started on June 30, 2008, and completed on July 31, 2008. The<\/p>\n
Course had, according to the respondents, actually started on August 1,<\/p>\n
2008. If that assertion be correct as we are inclined to hold the same to be<\/p>\n
correct, a period of nearly 5 months has elapsed since the commencement of<\/p>\n
the Course, which the students if admitted at this stage, will not be able to<\/p>\n
make up without compromising on the academic standards to be maintained<\/p>\n
in terms of the Regulations of the NCTE.\n<\/p>\n
             Mr. Sharma, counsel for the petitioners, however, made a two<\/p>\n
fold submission before us in support of his case that admissions granted<\/p>\n
even at this stage will not only help the Institutions to utilise the available<\/p>\n
vacancies but also enable the candidates to satisfy the requirements of the<\/p>\n
Rules and the academic standards. He submitted that the Course had not
\n CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 16842 OF 2008                                -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
actually started on August 1, 2008, but on October 1, 2008. This is,<\/p>\n
according to the learned counsel, supported by the fact that the 2nd and 3rd<\/p>\n
Counselling process was started on August 19, 2008, and September 5,<\/p>\n
2008, respectively and completed on September 9, 2008. He also relied<\/p>\n
upon Notification dated September 15, 2008, by which the Institutions were<\/p>\n
permitted to fill up the vacancies themselves between September 18,2008,<\/p>\n
to September 24, 2008. He urged that if the respondents had themselves<\/p>\n
permitted admissions to be made upto September 24, 2008, it was not<\/p>\n
possible for them to contend that the Course had actually started on August<\/p>\n
1, 2008. The Course, according to the learned counsel, had commenced for<\/p>\n
all intents and purposes on August 21, 2008.\n<\/p>\n
             It is true that the Ist Counselling process was followed by 2nd<\/p>\n
and the 3rd process ending on September 9, 2008. It is also correct that the<\/p>\n
respondents had permitted the Institutions to fill up the available vacancies<\/p>\n
upto September 24, 2008. But the very fact that such concessions were<\/p>\n
made does not conclusively establish that the academic studies for those<\/p>\n
who had already been admitted in the first counselling process had not<\/p>\n
started till October 1, 2008. On the contrary, we are inclined to accept the<\/p>\n
contention of the respondents that once the Ist counselling process was<\/p>\n
over, in which bulk of the students admitted to the course had secured<\/p>\n
admission, it could and ought to have started w.e.f. August 1, 2008. Even if<\/p>\n
one were to assume that the Course had in fact started on October 1, 2008,<\/p>\n
we still feel that the Course has already progressed over a period of three<\/p>\n
months by now. It will not , therefore, be feasible for the Colleges and the<\/p>\n
University or the affiliating body to commence and conclude any admission<\/p>\n
process afresh comprising students who had not appeared in the CET but
\n CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 16842 OF 2008                                   -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
are now willing to get admitted to the Course. It is fairly well-settled that<\/p>\n
Courts ought to be slow in interfering with academic matters, especially<\/p>\n
those that are likely to dilute standards and interfere with academic<\/p>\n
programmes like the ones at hand. The fact that all the candidates who were<\/p>\n
keen to get admitted to the Course, had the opportunity to appear and<\/p>\n
compete for admission as also the fact that no candidate, who had so<\/p>\n
appeared in the Common Entrance Test, has approached the Court for any<\/p>\n
relief regardless of his merit position shows that all those who are keen to<\/p>\n
undergo the Course had the opportunity to do so. Those who did not even<\/p>\n
care to appear in the CET and, therefore, did not become a part of the<\/p>\n
process, which could possibly lead to their admission to the Course, cannot<\/p>\n
now complain of having been left out. At any rate, none of such candidates,<\/p>\n
as may be seeking admission against available vacancies in any one of the<\/p>\n
petitioners – Institutions is before us in these proceedings. It is only the<\/p>\n
Institutions that have come forward for permission to fill up such vacancies<\/p>\n
claiming that a large number of candidates have approached them for such<\/p>\n
admission. In the totality of the circumstances, therefore, and keeping in<\/p>\n
view the time that has elapsed since the        conclusion of the admission<\/p>\n
process and the requirement of undergoing minimum of 220 days’ training<\/p>\n
before they become eligible to appear in the examination, we do not think<\/p>\n
the present to be a fit case where we ought to reopen the process of making<\/p>\n
admission. The analogy being drawn by learned counsel for the petitioners<\/p>\n
between the cases disposed of by us by our order dated November 21, 2008,<\/p>\n
in CWP No. 17284 of 2008 and connected matters does not lend any<\/p>\n
assistance to the petitioners. There is no merit in these writ petitions, which
