MADURAI: The Madurai bench of Madras High Court on Wednesday directed the NCTE to conduct special examinations for students, who studied courses in Arulmigu Kalasalingam College of Education at Srivilliputhur in Virudhunagar district during the academic year 2021-22 when its recognition and affilitation were withdrawn following some violations.

A division bench comprising Justice SS Sundar and Justice D Bharatha Chakravarthy after hearing a petition said the students were not responsible for the withdrawal of recognition.

However, the college later got its recognition. Therefore, a total of hundred students, who joined in 2021-22, should be allowed to take four semester exams, which should be conducted within three months and declare results within two months. The case was disposed of.
