The Registrar, Rajiv Gandhi University vs G. Hemlatha And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the principle of rounding-off can be applied to the eligibility criteria for admission to the PG course in M.Sc (Nursing) as prescribed by the Indian Nursing Council. The Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision allowing respondent 1's marks of 54.71% to be rounded off to 55%, thereby making her eligible for admission. The Court affirmed the lower court's ruling, emphasizing the importance of flexibility in educational eligibility criteria.
