Madurai: The Madras High Court bench here has ordered notice to the Centre and CBSE seeking to reply within four weeks on a petition seeking to conduct All India Engineering/Architectural Entrance Examination and All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Examinations with question papers in regional languages listed in Schedule VIII of the constitution.
The petitioner K Pachaimal, a retired Tamil Teacher, said CBSE was conducting All India Common Entrance Examination for the admission to Engineering, Architecture, Medical and Dental Courses.
She said students who completed their Higher Secondary Examination through Tamil as medium of Instruction would be forced to appear in the Common Entrance Examination either in English or Hindi, which was against their right to equality.
A Majority of these students are from urban poor, rural and weaker section of the society and have knowledge in their necessary subjects through their mother Tongue. But they will lose their opportunity as the question papers were prepared in English and Hindi.
The petitioner said students studying in their mother tongue should be given an equal opportunity to appear in the examination.
Justice Chitra Venkataraman and Justice R Karuppiah ordered notice to the Centre and CBSE seeking reply a four weeks.
