No relief beyond prescribed limit to complete MBA: HP High Court

Shimla, Jun 16 (UNI) In a significant judgment, the Himachal Pradesh High Court has dismissed a writ petition filed by an HAS officer, Mohit Shukla, who sought an exemption to complete his MBA course beyond the prescribed period of six years.
"The Court held that professional courses like MBA are bound by strict academic timelines, and personal choices, such as preparing for competitive examinations, cannot form the basis for relaxation in these limits."
Justice Ajay Mohan Goel, while pronouncing the verdict in CWP No. 4779 of 2025, observed that the petitioner was fully aware of the course structure and the six-year completion clause as per Ordinance 10.33 of Himachal Pradesh University’s First Ordinance.
