Acting on a writ petition filed by a girl alleging that her name was not included in the merit list of BE and BTech courses despite online registration, a division bench of Gujarat high court, comprising justices RM Doshit and SD Dave, has issued notices to the admission committee of professional courses (ACPC) and its help desk centre.

According to case details, Vidhi Patel, through her laywer, Hetvi Sancheti, has submitted in the petition that she had made online registration for admission in BE and BTech courses on the website of ACPC. She had also paid the requisite registration fee and taken a printout of the registered form and other relevant documents from the ACPC help desk at Sarvodaya Polytechnic in Limbi town of Surendranagar district.

Vidhi had cleared her HSC exam and Gujcet and applied online for joining an engineering course.

Sancheti argued that her client's name was found nowhere in the record or in the data base of ACPC. When her client, along with her parents, approached the help centre to find out why her name wasn't among the registered students for admission, they could not give any satisfactory reply from the help desk.

The ACPC even did not respond to their handwritten application on the matter. She argued that the court should therefore direct ACPC to consider Vidhi Patel as a registered candidate for admission in the courses and put her name in the first merit list.

For the first time, the ACPC has adopted online registration process for admission to engineering and pharmacy courses this year.

Sources familiar with the development claimed that there are as many as 70 students who have not found their names in the merit list despite their claims of having registered online.
