Minority status for Jamia Millia Islamia

[katharnak]

NEW DELHI: Central University Jamia Millia Islamia has been granted the minority status by a commission on minority institutions. This order is likely to bring changes in teh secular character of the central university since it will not have to give reservation to OBCs, Dalits and tribals and also reserve seats up to 50% for the muslims.

This decision is expected to be challenged in the court. Moreover, the Jamia Millia Islamia Act will be needing amendment for the implementation of the order passed by the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions.

At present in Jamia, 22.5% seats are reserved for Scs/STs, 25% are reserved for the students from the Jamia school and 3% are for the physically handicapped. The University was asked to implement OBC reservation in the past. And then, the Jamia Teachers' Association and Jamia Old Boys' Association filed the petition in NCMEI.
