NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court Tuesday said it will hear on May 24 a plea by Jesus and Mary College challenging a notification by the Delhi University insisting on admissions under minority quota solely on the basis of common university entrance test (CUET) scores, without any interview.
The matter was listed before a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad which was informed that a similar pending petition by St Stephen’s College is also coming up for hearing on May 24.
In the petition, Jesus and Mary College, a college for women, represented by advocate Romy Chacko, said it was a minority educational institution and its right to select students for admission and administer educational institution under the Constitution cannot be interfered with or taken away by the Delhi University.
