Minority Colleges Seek to Withdraw Social Quotas for FYJC
Some minority colleges in Maharashtra want to stop using social quotas, like for SC, ST, and OBC students, for their FYJC admissions.
They say these quotas shouldn't apply to them and that the way the government calculates seats is wrong.
They've also pointed to a court case that supports their view.
The colleges are asking the government to fix this and clarify the rules.
Maharashtra Association of Minority Educational Institutions seeks withdrawal of social quotas for FYJC.
The association claims quotas were imposed without official government resolution.
They argue the seat calculations on the admission portal are incorrect.
A 2017 Bombay High Court ruling supports the association's stance.
The association states the mandate for social reservations doesn't apply to them.
