RAJENDRA PRASAD MATHUR ETC. vs KARNATAKA UNIVERSITY & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the eligibility criteria set by the Karnataka University for admission to the Engineering Degree Course, emphasizing that the University is best suited to determine the equivalence of examinations. The Court ruled that the Higher Secondary Examination from Rajasthan did not meet the Karnataka standards, thus the admissions of the appellants were rightly canceled. The decision was based on the provisions of Section 12(5) of the Karnataka Universities Act, affirming the authority of the University in such matters.
