<br/>The Bombay High Court set aside the 'best of five' system for Secondary School Certificate or SSC Board students with regard to Standard XI admissions. <br/> <br/>The court also said that online admission process for Standard XI can commence immediately.<br/> <br/>The court said it discriminated against the students from other boards such as ICSE and CBSE.<br/> <br/>The state board this year had come out with a new rule according to which marks obtained in five subjects would be considered — out of the six subjects — for the purpose of issuing Class X mark list. The subject in which a student has fared worst would be left out.<br/> <br/>The decision was taken because SSC board felt that ICSE and CBSE marking systems were more liberal and gave advantage to their students in the Class X exam.<br/> <br/>But some parents of ICSE students challenged the system, saying the new SSC system is discriminatory and even ICSE board should be allowed to adopt the same system. <br/>
