| Headnote | Admission – Management course – Application by institution seeking extention of approval of existing seats and for increase in seats – All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) granted extention while did not communicate anything about increase in seats – After exchange of correspondence between the parties, AICTE rejected the prayer for increase in seats – In the meantime, the institution had already admitted students in excess of the seats – Institution filed writ petition challenging order of AICTE rejecting increase in seats – During pendency of the petition AICTE imposed penalty of Rs. 23 crores for admission of 42 students in excess of the permissible seats – Held: Action of the institution in granting admission to the students beyond sanctioned seats was illegal and contrary to law – AICTE is empowered to impose the penalties for excess admission, as prescribed in Approval Process Handbook (2016– 2017) of AICTE – Penalty being only financial penalty is rather very light penalty and hence not unjustified – However, admission of students are not set aside. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
