New Delhi: No separate three percent reservations will be provided to the physically-challenged students at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in case the Supreme Court clears the air for the implementation of 27 percent quota reservations for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
Vice Chancellor of JNU Mr. B.B. Bhattacharya said, "There will be no separate disability quota reservation under each category. Students falling under such categories will however be given preference to maintain the overall three percent quota for the disabled." The varsity already has 22.5 percent of the total seats reserved for the SC/ST students and implementing another 27 percent reservation for the OBCs (which is bound to be implemented) and a 3 percent reservation for the disabled will result in violation of the 50 percent reservation limit order by the Supreme Court. However, if the Supreme Court does not go ahead with the OBC quota reservations from this year, only then will the varsity provide the 3 percent reservation for the physically-challenged students. http://www.indiaedunews.net/Delhi/No%5Fseparate%5Fquota%5Ffor%5Fdisabled%5Fat%5FJNU%5Fthis%5Fyear%5F982/ To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
