3. l,earned counsel for ttre petitioner submits t]rat inadvertently the pefitioner could not register for admission under Management Quota "B" category.

4. [rarned Standing Counsel for the Universitl, strbmits that the last date of applications for registraLion has bt:en closed and the UniversLty cannot extend the date.

Therefore, we are not inclined to issue any directions to that effect.

6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed.
