Kochi: The Kerala High Court has ruled that graduates are eligible to apply for last grade appointments at the state universities, rejecting a government appeal that sought to prevent them from doing so.
A division bench, consisting of Justice Anil K Narendran and Justice P G Ajithkumar, disposed of the government's appeal against a single bench order. The previous order had cancelled a provision that barred graduates from applying for last grade posts in universities.
