In Yet another grievance related to the online admission procedure for professional courses,a student from Nirma University of Science and Technology,Ahmedabad has approached the Gujarat High Court. The student wants the HC quash the action of the Admission Commission for Professional Courses (ACPC) to arbitrarily transfer him from Nirma University to an engineering college in Vasad,Anand district. The petitioner,identified as Akash Gamdha from Ahmedabad,had passed the Class XII board examination with 95 per cent. After undergoing the online admission procedure,he secured admission at Nirma Universitys Information Technology faculty as per his choice in July. After having been allotted a roll number and attending a few classes,Gamdha came to know on July 31 that he had been transferred to a Vasad college. On approaching the ACPC authorities,he was told that his password was hacked and that his admission was shifted to Vasad. In the petition filed through his counsel,S K Patel,Gamdha has contended that since he had secured admission at the reputed Nirma University,there is no question of him opting for a college in Vasad. He also stated that out of the total 12 alternate choices,he never mentioned the name of the Vasad college,so his admission to Nirma University should continue. A division bench comprising Chief Justice K S Radhakrishnan and Justice Akil Kureshi has ordered to let the student study at the Nirma University till the final verdict on the petition.
