A common entrance test and physical fitness test for admissions to MPEd and BPEd courses run by Centre for Physical Education of the University of Calicut and the Government College of Physical Education, Kozhikode, will be held on September 15, 16, 18, and 19 on the university campus.
This follows the Kerala High Court allowing the university to resume the courses. Based on a petition filed by a group of students, the court had earlier asked the institution not to admit students to these courses as they are not approved by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE).
A release issued by the university on Thursday said the order to resume the courses was issued after a contempt of court petition was filed against NCTE. The university claimed that it had completed the formalities for an inspection by the council in 2022 October and gave an undertaking for the purpose. The council, however, did not take any follow-up steps.
