The college authorities cannot give false assurance to the students that they can be admitted to the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree course without giving them the Common Entrance Test.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) had last year announced that a common entrance test would determine admission to 45 central universities across the country. Board exams will play a minor role and universities can use them as eligibility criteria for exams. But beyond that, admission will depend only on the performance in the Common Entrance Test. This test is also applicable to students applying for admission to undergraduate Education degree. Bachelor in Education, a 2-year post-graduation program, prepares students for careers in education. B.Ed holders can pursue career options like teacher, school counselor or school administrator. The college authorities cannot give false assurance to these aspiring students that they can be admitted to Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree courses without Common Entrance Test. Recently, a report came to the fore regarding Malwa Central College of Education for Women, Ludhiana, where the officials falsely assured admission to students in B.Ed course without appearing for Common Entrance Test.
The protesting students had said that they were assured by the college authorities about their admission in B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) course without entrance exam, but now they are not being allowed to take the exam. The students allege that the management has put their entire academic year at risk by not informing them in time about the non-confirmation of admission. According to the students, they attended regular classes, were issued identity cards and participated in youth festivals like regular students. He had also deposited a token money of ₹ 5,000 to block his seat. Despite all these contributions, the management started new problems for him by not confirming his admission.
On the other hand, the principal of the college, Satwant Kaur, has rejected the allegations leveled by the students. He said that the protesting students were given admission against the vacant seats after two rounds of counseling for the candidates who appeared in the Common Entrance Test. According to Satwant, this was a regular practice since 2012 and the issue was pending as the government had changed this time.
