Now, she is finding it difficult to travel up to Salem and stay there and complete the internship.

She got only lesser marks and therefore, she was allotted only to the private college. Therefore, even if the petitioner finds it difficult to complete the course in Salem and she can choose any of the private College of her choice and complete the course.

¶20

With the above observation, when the Court adjourned the matter, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had approached the private college, more specifically, Arunai Medical College, Tiruvannamalai, and other private medical colleges and they are all willing to admit the petitioner.
