States
can’t enforce quota in private colleges: SC
New Delhi,
August 12
Clearing the
ambiguity about admissions in unaided private and minority
professional institutions for medical, engineering,
management and other courses across the country, the
Supreme Court today ruled that the government had no right
to foist a quota of its own students in such institutions. “Neither
the policy of reservation can be enforced by the states
nor any quota or percentage of admissions can be carved
out to be appropriated by it in a minority or non-minority
unaided educational institutions,” the court said.
