THE Supreme Court of India has upheld the ‘Best-5 policy’ for conducting admissions to junior colleges in Maharashtra. This time, the policy has been made to include the students of the ICSE Board under its ambit. The decision was made by a division bench of Justice V. S. Shirpurkar and Justice T. S. Thakur, who approved a state government amendment and finalised the interim order it passed for ICSE students.
In case of ICSE students, the marking of their papers will not be governed by this policy. However, the students’ admission to state colleges could depend upon it.
Under the Best-5 practice, an SSC examinee’s marks in five subjects are considered for his/her admission to a junior college; these five are the ones in which the student scores the most marks. For ICSE students choosing this policy, the best five subjects from only Groups I and II, and not Group III, will be taken into account. For those who do not opt for Best-5, the marks gained in all three groups will be counted.
