“Students admitted to law courses will not be allowed to seek transfer”
They have to stick to college chosen at the time of counselling
Chennai: From this year on, students seeking admission for law
courses will not be allowed to seek transfers to colleges other
than the ones they had chosen at the time of counselling.
“We have been receiving too many requests for transfers
to the Chennai law college, sometimes from even students admitted
to the Chengelpattu college, which is just an hour away from
the city. Hence, we have taken a policy decision not to allow
such transfers,” Durai Murugan, Minister for Law, said
at the commencement of the first phase of counselling for admissions
to the 2007-08 batch of the five-year B.L. course at Tamil Nadu
Dr. Ambedkar Law University on Friday. Students should make
an informed decision while choosing a college at the time of
counselling itself, he said.
The Minister also handed over allotment letters to top rankers
in this year’s merit list released on July 23. G. Arivarasan
of Virudhunagar, who came first, was allotted a seat in the
Madurai law college and R. Kalivaradhan of Coimbatore, who was
second, allotted Coimbatore law college. Third ranker K. Ambika
of Chennai chose the Chennai law college.
A total of 1052 seats are available for counselling in the six
government colleges in Chennai, Chengelpattu, Tiruchirappalli,
Madurai, Coimbatore and Tirunelveli. Around 2,800 applications
have been received for the first phase, which will conclude
on August 7, V. Sachidanandam, Law University Vice-Chancellor,
said. While 988 of the available seats were under the merit
category, 64 were special quota seats.
A total of 1182 seats will be available for the three year B.L
course, counselling for which will commence shortly.
