certificates

Guwahati:
The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Thursday urged the
Assam government to start the process of issuing minority
certificates at the earliest, cautioning that any delay in this
would deprive Muslim students of Assam an opportunity to secure
admission in the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G).
The issue assumes significance as there will be a 4.5 percent
reservation for Muslim students in IIT-G from this year. From this
year on, the IIT-JEE admission committee has decided to introduce
a 4.5 percent reservation for Muslims from within the 27 percent
quota reserved for Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
"In Assam, the minority certificate is prerequisite for securing
admissions in IITs under 4.5 percent reservations for all minority
communities," said AIUDF legislator and leader of Opposition in
the Assam assembly Sirajuddin Ajmal Thursday.
"It is a matter of concern that the state government has not been
issuing certificates to Muslim students. The delay would deprive
students of the community in the state from getting admissions
this year in IIT Guwahati. Already, many Muslim students from
other states are trying to get admission to IITG. So we request
the state government to expedite the process of issuing minority
certificates at the earliest," he said.
