HC directs Allahabad University to pay Rs 50,000 compensation to student for not allowing admission

The Allahabad High Court has directed the Allahabad University administration to pay a compensation of Rs 50,000 to a student who was not allowed to join its master’s degree course even though he had cleared the entrance examination.

Justice Ashutosh Srivastava said the university changed the rules of eligibility after the selection process for the MA in women studies course for the academic session 2022-2023 had begun.

The court asked the university to deposit Rs 50,000 as compensation to the student Ajay SIngh within a fortnight.
