Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the resolution of the Admissions Committee of Allahabad University to introduce an Entrance Test for degree courses was valid under the Uttar Pradesh State Universities Act, 1973, specifically referencing Sections 13(6) and 28(3). The Court found that the Vice-Chancellor acted appropriately in constituting the Admissions Committee due to the absence of an Executive Council. The High Court's decision to quash the resolution was set aside, and the University was directed to announce the selected candidates for admission, while allowing the Academic Council to take future actions as deemed necessary.
