Hi Kartik KVPY Exam is for a scholarship/fellowship. Now they do reserve a certain percentage of such awards for sc/st, but not for PWD. Provisions of law may be interpreted to imply that such a reservation should be made and there is no harm in approaching them or CCPD for that matter. I have been pushing for explicit inclusion of such provisions at least in the new statute, but committee members don't seem to be interested in giving statutory sanction to such mundane matters!!!!!!!!!! and deem them fit for bylaws/guidelines which we all know can be bent at the sweet will of burocrats!!!!

I had a query about reservation. Is it mandatory for all examinations conducted by the Government to reserve 3% seats for the physically challenged? Actually, KVPY is an examination in Science organised by Dept. of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. It has reservation for SC and ST applicants, but such a provision is not available for the physically challenged students. Is it legally binding (obligatory) to implement such reservations, or is it only advisable? Regards, -Kartik To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
