New Delhi, Aug. 6: The government on Friday introduced a bill that
will enable certain Central educational institutions to give
reservation to more SC and ST students than what is stipulated under a
Central law.
The Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission)
Amendment Bill, 2010, also provides for giving additional time of
three years to Central and Centrally-aided educational institutions to
create infrastructure for implementing 27 per cent OBC quota. The
amendments are also being brought to safeguard the interests of the
tribal population of the Northeast.
The amendment will enable certain institutions like the Sikkim
University and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, which had higher
quota structure for SC and ST students, to continue with their
previous regime. Difficulties were experienced by some of the CEIs,
particularly those in the Northeast inhabited by tribal population and
Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, which has been
reserving 50 per cent seats for SC and ST.
The amendment gives exemption to such institutions in tribal areas
from implementing 27 per cent quota for OBCs in admission as required
under the act. These universities, most of which are located in the
NE, will be able to continue with 15 per cent reservation for STs even
though the CEI (Reservation in Admission) Act stipulates 7.5 per cent
reservation for them.
