New Delhi: Ahead of
the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) polls, the Congress-led
Delhi government Monday decided to hike the reservation for Other
Backward Castes (OBCs) in educational institutes from 21 percent
to 27 percent.
The hike, coming into effect from the next academic year
2012-2011, will be applicable to government-aided and non-aided
institutions and universities.
The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting presided over by Delhi
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
"The move will not cause any reduction in the Scheduled Caste (SC)
quota," said Dikshit Monday.
The number of admissions in each class and in each discipline
would be increased by 12 percent to ensure that the seats
available for the General category candidates are not reduced. The
total number of seats will be increased accordingly.
