The High Court has held that the method of admission adopted for engineering courses during the current academic year prima facie does not appear to be rational or scientific.

A parent from Thiruvananthapuram said, “We are not against normalisation but the method followed is unscientific. This was a hasty move without any in depth study and the future of many students are at stake,” he said.“The spot admissions which are being held is not transparent and nobody gets to know of it.
