Govt. lays rules for law admissions
Chennai: The state government has ordered that while admitting
students for three year B.L and five year B.A.B.L. courses,
through a centralised counselling, languages (English and Tamil)
would not be taken into account, a government order said on
Sunday. Law secretary S. Dheenadhayalan, in an order dated April
19, said that the marks obtained by students in the plus two
examinations in the first attempt alone would be taken into
account and marks obtained in the improvement examinations will
not be considered.
The Director of Legal Studies in his letter dated Feb. 1 this
year had recommended some methods to be adopted for admission
to law degree courses from the academic year 2007-08. The government,
after considering the recommendations, had ordered that from
this academic year admission to 3 years and 5 years B.L. Degree
courses including B.A.B.L. (Hons.) be made only on the basis
of the marks obtained in the qualifying examinations and following
the rule of reservations in the state.
For 5-year B.L. degree course, including B.A.B.L. (Hons.) degree
course, the percentage of marks obtained by the candidates in
the plus two examinations in aggregate of all the subjects,
excluding languages, will be taken into account. For 3-year
B.L. degree course, the percentage of marks obtained by the
candidate in aggregate of all the subjects in the qualifying
degree examination, excluding languages, will be taken into
account.
In case, where the language is the subject to qualifying examination,
the percentage of marks obtained by the candidate may be taken
into account. In the event of "tie" in regard to the
marks obtained by the students for admission to the law courses,
the date of birth would be taken into account first (older students
to be given preference), if in that case also a tie arises,
then the choice would be decided by lot. The Tamil Nadu Dr.
Ambedkar Law University has been ordered to continue as the
agency of the government for the selection and allotment of
the candidates to all government law colleges.
