Bombay High Court Allows EWS Student to Retake Admissions
A student from Pune, who comes from a family that is not very rich, wanted to study physiotherapy.
She made a mistake when filling out an online form for college admissions and ended up selecting a private college instead of the government college she wanted.
The private college was too expensive for her, so she asked the court for help.
The Bombay High Court said she could try again in the next round of admissions.
Her father works at a petrol pump, and she even worked as a mehandi artist to help pay for her studies.
The Bombay High Court allowed an EWS physiotherapy candidate to appear in the next stray vacancy admission round.
The student mistakenly selected a private college instead of her desired government college due to lack of operational skills.
She sought help from a local cyber cafe to fill the online preference form.
The private college's high fees made it unaffordable for her.
The court's decision was based on her financial background and the error in the admission process.
