Kerala High Court dismissed a petition from some CBSE students challenging 2026 admission rules for professional degrees . They argued new standardisation formula,subject weightage in prospectus unfairly hurt their chances for engineering course ranks.
They said revised method lacked enough expert input,creating bias against CBSE candidates. Kerala's entrance exams have used standardisation to level field among CBSE, ICSE,and Kerala Board students since 2012. This system stayed till 2025 .
Commissioner for Entrance Examinations defended government's right to set prospectus guidelines,insisting new approach won't disadvantage any student group. Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas,overseeing case,said standardisation scheme is government policy. Court steps in only if there's clear arbitrariness or bias.
After reviewing standardisation history from 2012 to 2025,court concluded government can adjust exam and evaluation rules. So students' challenge didn't hold legally,prompting dismissal of petitions. What will they do next?…
