The Kerala High Court has recently held that insisting on equivalency certificate from Central Universities that are recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in the prospectus of the State Eligibility Test (SET) is ultra vires the UGC Act. Justice D.K. Singh passed the judgment while considering a Writ Petition that challenged the decision taken by the LBS Centre for Science and Technology (2nd respondent) with respect to the petitioner’s eligibility in the SET.
