J&K BOPEE notice regarding withdrawal of court cases by Jammu College of Physiotherapy and conduct of counselling for BPT course
The J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) has issued a notification on the withdrawal of court cases by the Jammu College of Physiotherapy, Jammu, and the conduct of counselling for admission to the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) course in government and private colleges/institutions of the Union Territory (UT) of J&K.
The notification states that the Jammu College of Physiotherapy had filed a writ petition before the J&K and Ladakh High Court challenging the BOPEE’s notification of September 2, 2023, which had notified the schedule for online registration of NEET-eligible candidates for admission to Ayush and BPT courses-2023. The college had sought quashing of the notification to the extent that it provided for joint counselling for BAMS/BUMS and BPT courses, and had requested that separate counselling be conducted for admission to the BPT course in the college or that counselling be conducted on the basis of merit secured by the candidates in the qualifying examination (10+2).
The High Court, in its order dated January 12, 2024, disposed of the writ petition after the BOPEE informed the court that the counselling for BPT courses would be conducted separately from the counselling for Ayush courses.
Accordingly, the BOPEE has now notified that the counselling for BPT courses will be conducted online from February 6 to 10, 2024. The eligible candidates can register for the counselling online from February 1 to 5, 2024, on the BOPEE website.
