2. Mr.P.Raja, learned Government Advocate takes notice for respondents. By consent, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage.

3. When the matter is taken up for hearing, it is represented by the learned Government Advocate that the earlier request of the petitioner with regard to grant of incentive for B.Ed Degree Course has already been considered by the 3rd respondent on 19.11.2018 and rejected the request on the ground that there are errors in the application and the same has got to be rectified and to represent it thereafter.
