Hon'ble Ritu Raj Awasthi,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Standing Counsel and perused the record.
The writ petition has been filed seeking suitable order or direction to the opposite parties to modify the eligibility conditions prescribed in the guidelines issued vide Government Order dated 17.4.2013 with respect to UP-TET.
It is submitted by learned counsel for petitioner that in the graduation the petitioner has obtained less than 45% marks whereas in the post graduation she has obtained more than 50% marks. As per the eligibility criteria prescribed for admission, such as B.Ed. course run by the State Universities a candidate having graduation or post graduation with 50% marks shall be eligible for admission, however in the eligibility criteria for UP-TET laid down vide Government Order dated 17.4.2013 a candidate is required to have passed graduation with 50% marks. There is no provision for the candidates who have passed post graduation with 50% marks. 
It is further submitted that once the candidates having passed post graduation with 50% marks are eligible for admission in teachers course as such B.Ed. they shall also be eligible for appearing in UP-TET which is a Teachers Eligibility Test.
It is also submitted that N.C.T.E. vide notification dated 23.8.2010,� modified on 1.4.2011� has modified� the eligibility conditions� for T.E.T. and relaxation of 5% in qualifying marks (Graduation) to the candidates belonging to the SC/ST etc. has been provided, however no relaxation in graduation marks for such candidates has been provided in UP-TET. 
Learned Standing Counsel on the basis of instructions submits that as per the eligibility criteria as provided� by the Government Order dated 17.4.2013 the requirement is that a candidate should have passed graduation with minimum 50% marks. The petitioner has not got minimum 50% marks in graduation, as such she is not eligible to appear in UP-TET. 
I have considered the submissions made by the parties' counsel.
It appears that in the eligibility criteria as prescribed vide Government Order dated 17.4.2013, there is no provision for candidates who have passed post graduation with 50% or more than 50% marks. It is for the State Government to decide as to whether such candidates who have passed post graduation with 50% marks or more than 50% marks are to be treated eligible for appearing in UP-TET or not, as has been provided by the N.C.T.E. for B.Ed. course. 
Since the last date for filling Online application forms for UP-TET is 27.5.2013, the matter is relegated to the State Government to decide the aforesaid issue before the last date for filling the application forms. 
The petitioner may move appropriate representation in this regard before the opposite party no. 1/Principal Secretary, Basic Education, who may take appropriate decision in this regard in the light of the observations made hereinabove.
With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is disposed of.

Order Date :- 24.5.2013

Office is directed to issue a certified copy of this order to the learned counsel for the petitioner on payment of usual charges, today.
