Admissions Without NEET: High Court orders University to Pay Rs 25 lakh each to 8 Students
Chennai: The Madras High Court recently came down heavily on a varsity that admitted students without NEET two years ago, telling it to pay 8 students a compensation of Rs 25 lakh each on account of ruining their career
The High Court directed Saveetha university to refund fees collected from eight students and to pay them Rs 25 lakh each as compensation within 45 days for admitting them under the NRI quota when they had not appeared for the NEET and thereby, spoiling their career.
Justice S Vaidyanathan, who gave the directive when a batch of writ petitions from V S Subeeksha and others came up for hearing, also directed the Saveetha University to return their original certificates.
The judge was disposing of petitions from the students, seeking to quash the January 22 order of the Dental Council of India, directing the university to discharge 13 students admitted under the NRI category, who had not written the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
